The purpose is to show that the visit is temporary, credible, affordable, and connected to a life outside Canada that the applicant is expected to return to. What can count as home ties Home ties may include employment, business ownership, school enrollment, family responsibilities, property, community obligations, financial commitments, professional plans, or other reasons the applicant is expected to return.
