Hi I'm Mex from Srilanka and I live in Hong Kong as a dependent status. I have applied the visitor visa for Canada and my visa was refused as these reasons based on travel history, purpose of visit and personal asset and financial status. Although I have visited several Asian countries including Japan, I have submitted my 3 months bank statement and company letter too. Please feel free to feed back what should I do in this moment for reapply?
 
How much funds did you show? Do you have assets in hongkong? Are you a permanent resident of hongkong? Did you mention in your application you will be traveling with your spouse and son?
# I have shown my Bank statement around 2000CAD and also credit card account a
# I have owned my private car but I didn't show the them
# I'm a resident in Hong Kong (still hold dependant Visa, sponsored by my spouse)
# I have mentioned about my traveling with my wife and son, also I have shown them their air tickets
# also I have shown my wife bank statements and her occupation

Sadly 2k is not enough. With barely any other assets or family to tie you to Hong Kong or Sri Lanka, your chances of obtaining a tourist visa to Canada are very slim. You need to be financially established before you can take a trip for pleasure, your current situation makes you look like a possible overstay risk or asylum claimant even though you don't have such intentions.
I don't have those intentions, by the way I have shown my wife bank statements and her asset in Hong Kong
 
Agreed. Your finances aren’t enough to cover airfare for the 3 of you. Rule of thumb is $1000/week each plus airfare.
