Hi,
I applied for TRV from Lahore Pakistan. I applied for TRV on 11th july. I am a doctor and working in a renowned hospital.
Therefore I possess good employment history. I am married (nikkah only) and living with my mother and other family members. Therefore I have good social ties. My purpose of visit was to attend a medical conference. The whole trip was funded including travel ticket, accommodation and registration fee. However I attached my own bank statements, husband's cover letter and bank statement, an affidavit explaining whole purpose of visit. I possess good travel history with multiple entries in Schengen areas
Today my visa was rejected on the following grounds.
You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary
resident. In reaching this decision, I considered several factors, including:
-Travel history
-Family ties in Canada and in country of residence
-Purpose of visit
-I am not satisfied that you have sufficient funds, including income or assets, to carry out your stated
purpose in going to Canada or to maintain yourself while in Canada and to effect your departure.

Can anyone please explain?
