Hello, my TRV application was refused after ~3 hours of business hours at the Manila office. Our purpose of visit was to complete a wedding ceremony in Vancouver. The applicant is a Chinese national, working in Korea. The spouse is a Canadian national, studying in Korea.
The reasons for refusal are as follows:
You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident.
(1) Travel history
(2) Family ties in Canada
(3) Limited employment prospects
What more can we add to prove to them otherwise? The documents we have submitted regarding these three reasons are as follows:
(1) Travel history
-Passport with pages of stamps and 2 Korean student visas. Stamp of 3 day visit to Thailand
-Korean Alien Registration Card, proving status as worker in Korea
(2) Family ties in Canada
-Notarized translation of receipt of civil marriage in Korea
-Photographs of the couple's travels all throughout Korea, Shanghai, and Bangkok
-Canadian national's certificate of attendance at the school
-Canadian national's Korean Alien Registration Card, proving status as student in Korea
-E-Tickets of both applicant and spouse's flight to and from Vancouver (same flight, same booking company, etc., don't know if this is considered family ties or Travel history... But regardless, [expensive~~~~~~] evidence of intention to leave Canada on expected date)
(3) Limited employment prospects
-Certification of Leave of Absence (letter from employer, annual salary stated)
-Notarized translation of Annual Salary Contract
-Certification of Employment
-Statement Inquiry from Bank (proof of earning money monthly, as there are no payslips)
Are there any more documents I can add to change their mind otherwise? Or should I give up and try again next year? Would a marriage certificate help? We are unable to attain this as we are both foreigners in Korea, but could get it in China. Or should we just go the immigration sponsorship route, even though that was not our original plan.

I guess I might be lucky with the CIC who reviewed my documents.
