You should show enough proof of ties with your country (Is it India?). Explore "dual intent". The onus is on you to show that you have enough reason to want to go back to your country after your visit is over (should you be be granted a visit visa). Officers do not normally call you for interview when applying for a visit visa.

Best ties you can prove you have is a wife and kids. They don't really get all that impressed with you having a land or a house or a car or even a job, unless they're nicer than where I come from. School may be another good tie, as well as a really fat money account :-).

If i write in the application that i am married,may be they will be more sure that he has a wife,he will try not to come as in Pakistan India most people work on low or moderate salaries and he will try to stay as much as he can to earn money for his family.
 
2)Do they consider this point that this person's application of Federal skill workers has already in the process for two year.May be we will ask him to submit his documents in a year or so.So why wouldn't we grant him a two months visa as he has been working for his organization for 7 years.Please give me some suggestion.Is my application a positive factor  or it will give a negative impact?
 
The second thing is that My boss is in America now a days he will come in June and handed over his work to his son who is totally illiterate he only knows how to do the signature and that amir works here and he is on this post what sort of other questions embassy can ask from my owner.Anybody had this experience please do share with me so that i can tell my owner in advance to get ready for these questions and answer the visa officer in this manner.
 
Some of you may applied for visit visa and succeed and some of you may applied and unfortunately refused to get it.What sort of reason do they give you while they refused your application?Successful and UnSuccessful Candidates please reply to my question.I will be thankful to you.I read on the CIC website that if they refuse they always send a paper with a reason of refusal.Give me some precautions or safety majors which i should take while i am going to apply
 
Replies will be highly appreciated by me
Thank you

Really depends upon your reason for applying for a visit visa.

1) If you have a good job worth returning to after the visit, then that is one factor in your favor.

2) Explore "dual intent". Yes you have applied to immigrate under FSW but should your FSW application be turned down you would go back to your home country or go back to your country once the allowed visit is over. So this is where your reason for going to Canada for a visit comes in. It must be something really pressing.

It does not matter that your boss is not there and handed over his work to his son who is totally illiterate he only knows how to do the signature and that amir works here and he is on this post what sort of other questions embassy can ask from my owner. Visa officers do not normally call employers or even the applicant.
