I was selected for MITACS Global Research Internship which connects students to Canadian Professors via projects, and funds by providing a stipend of 9000 CAD. I had attached my award letter to indicate the same. However I received the following this morning,
Dear MUKUL DEV, Thank you for your interest in coming to Canada. I have reviewed your temporary resident visa (visitor visa) application and supporting documentation to assess whether you meet the requirements for a visitor visa (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/ services/visit-canada/eligibility.html). This includes assessing whether you are coming to Canada temporarily for the reason(s) you describe in your application. I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/ index.html). I am refusing your application.
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/ section-179.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application.
• Your current employment situation does not show that you are financially established in your country of residence
I am currently an Undergraduate student, so I entered Unemployed when they asked for all employment and activities since age of 18 in form.
I had clearly mentioned my entry and exit dates in application and duration of internship being 12 weeks.
I didnt need a work permit because I applied for Short-term work (120 days) for researchers (Global Skills Strategy).
What should I do now?
