Visitor Visa Rejected

[Rithvik]

I am Rithvik, an Indian Citizen.Currently, I am working and residing in Norway with a status as Resident Permit

I have a friend in Canada and I would like to visit him for a vacation.
I tried applying visitor visa to Canada, but it has been rejected with the following note

"You have not satisfied me that you wouls leave at the end of your stay as a permanent resident. Considering the following factors
1. Travel history
2. Immigration status in the country of residence
3. Purpose of visit"

I dont have any travel history other than travelling from India to Norway.
I have a valid resident permit in the current country of residence, which is valid for a year. I have submitted it
I have made it clear that am visting my friend for a vacation with to and fro dates.The address of stay was also mentioned along with the invitation letter from my friend

I am not pretty sure why the application has been rejected and what additional documents needs to be submitted? Has anyone of you come across the same situation?

How long was your trip?

What evidence did you submit to show proof of ties to Norway?

2. Immigration status in the country of residence

The way I interpret this, it's not so much as the proof of your immigration status, but the mere fact that you are an expatriate, therefore you are more likely to want to stay permanently in Canada.

As scylla hinted at, getting a TRV approved isn't about proving your reasons for going to Canada, but proving your reasons to leave Canada (i.e. ties to Norway/India).

1. What documents did you submit?

2. How long have you been living in Norway? When does your current resident permit expire? When does your employment contract expire?

3. Do you have family who live with you in Norway? A rent contract?

4. What ties can you prove to India? Property/land ownership? Dependent family? Financial investments?

I have only these proof of documents for the ties in Norway. So is there any other documents needs to submitted?
I have one more problem, My resident permit is valid only for a year, and it will be renewed every year. Is that a problem?
