Please suggest Places to purchase clothes for women with car parking?

I wanna buy salwar suits and traditional dresses mostly. Which is the best place in Surat where we can easily get car parking and roads are wide enough to drive properly. Don't want too much crowded area. Prices should be decent.

Thanks in advance.

Visitor Visa Refused - R179(b) purpose+financials. Worth getting GCMS notes or just reapply?

Visitor Visa Refused Yesterday.

Indian Applicant. 31(M), Married with 1-year-old son and parents at home in India.
8 YOE in IT, currently working as a Senior Software Engineer with a CTC of around 65L INR (~94K CAD). I also have strong ties to India, including an ongoing home construction project.

Refusal cited:
-Purpose of visit not consistent with temporary stay
-Vague supporting documents for tourism & itinerary
-Financial situation insufficient
(Note: For financials, I submitted 6 months bank statements, 3 years ITR, payslips. I showed $7000 CAD in liquid funds, I can get more if needed from my mutual funds investments)

What I didn't submit:
- Flight or hotel bookings (was waiting for visa approval)
- No travel history
I initially chose Canada as my first travel destination because my close friend is there and can support me if needed, though I applied as a standard tourist for a 8-day trip. I can get an invitation letter from him for the reapplication if needed.

For those who reapplied successfully after R179(b):

1)Did GCMS notes actually help identify the exact issue, or was the fix obvious from the refusal letter?
2)How long did you wait before reapplying?
3)Anything specific you changed or highlighted in your cover letter/Letter of Explanation?
4)What important documents did you submit in your Letter of Explanation to overcome the "purpose" and "financial" objections?
5)Should I take the help of external agencies or third-party services such as CIBT, or do this myself?

Thanks in advance!

Just for reference, here is the exact text I received from Officer Decision Notes:-
I have reviewed the application. The purpose of the applicant's visit to Canada is notconsistent with a temporary stay given the details provided in the application. Applicant intends to travel to Canada for tourism. Applicant has provided vague and minimal supporting documentation of tourism activities and travel itinerary. I am not satisfied that the applicant has a compelling reason to visit Canada. The applicant's assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for themselves (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable). Taking the applicant's travel plan into account, the documentation provided in support of the applicant's financial situation does not demonstrate that funds would be sufficient or available. I am not satisfied that the proposed stay would be a reasonable expense. Weighing the factors in this application, I am not satisfied that the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay. For the reasons above, I have refused this application.

Dermatologist suggestion needed.

Hi all,

Is there any good skin doctor in Vesu Area/Magdalla and near by areas?

I am finding some on maps with good reviews but don't have trust over them.

Thanks
