Thanks for your input

1. i register my CAC March 2020 and the business is less than 4 year old
2. CAC is Active because i pay my annual return yearly.
3. I submitted Tax Clearance issue by State Government (i pay my tax to state government) for 2021, 2022, and 2023
4. My Wife is self employed she owned a tailoring outfit.

slimmsyyetty:
In my own little understanding....."Insufficient evidence of employment/activity income..."

1) When did you register your CAC as self employed? How old is your company?
2) Is your company still active on CAC database if the VO search online? Because if it shows INACTIVE, that could raise a redflag
3) Did you submit your Tax clearance? Mind you, your tax returns must be equivalent to the amount you claim to earn annually OR Did you submit your CAC recent annual returns certificate of at least two years ( 2022 and 2023) to show your business is active and running. They prefer tenderable documents of your business running than pictures alone.... which is TAX OR RETURNS.

And when next you apply, let your spouse write a letter of consent that she is aware you are traveling to Canada on a SHORT STAY, at the same time assuring them of your return.

If your wife is working and earning well, you may include her work ID and payslips (notarized copies) to further strengthen your financial tie.

Best of luck in your next application
