I sponsored my aunt to visit me, provided invitation letter and proof of financial support as well. Her previous visas were rejected due to weak ties back in India as her only son was in Australia in 2013 and I was also not in Canada at that time so third party sponsored on their marriage ceremony so it got rejected.
My Aunt is financially very well, I am also financially eligible to sponsor her to Canada. She travelled to Australia and honoured visa terms and returned within validity period.

I came to Canada in 2014 as permanent resident.

Purpose of her visit was mentioned- Tourism and family visit together.

So they said visa is rejected due to following reasons
1. Travel history
2. Weak ties in India
3. Visa officer is not convinced that they would return

Can any one please advise my what went wrong

1. How long did she want to visit?

2. When did she apply for each application?

3. Her travel to Australia was on the back of having an Australia-resident son. If she stayed there for the full duration allowed then her Australia visit does not count as travel history.

4. What documents did she submit?

5. Is she employed/in business? Owns property and/or land? Lives with other dependent family members?

6. The proof of being able to afford the visit lies with the applicant and not the host. Your finances are secondary. Also, you cannot sponsor someone for a TRV, you can only invite him/her

— she is able to financially assist her but she showed only 6000$ approx to visit Canada for about 2 weeks. I’m not sure if it is good enough.

Sorry for late reply.
