The solution: Make sure you demonstrate that you have ties to your home country which will motivate you to return at the end of your stay. Examples include, but are not limited to: a job, home, financial assets and family.
The problem: You don’t have enough funds available for your trip.

Additionally, if the person inviting you to Canada is willing and able to support your trip, ensure you show this support in both their letter of invitation and in documentation.

The solution: The officer needs to be satisfied that the purpose of your visit is to, well, visit and nothing more. You application should be backed up with evidence such as itineraries and invitations.
