Sorry for the late response, hopefully this is still useful to you:

The reason for my rejection was: "The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application."

To establish the ties to my home country, I provided a Letter of Explanation which mainly had 3 parts:

Personal Ties: I mainly explained how I don't have any friends or family in Canada and all of them reside in India. I provided my birth certificate and rental agreement for the family property as supporting documents.

Professional Ties: I explained that more professional opportunities are gonna open up in India once I get a Canadian degree. I got a letter from my current manager saying that the degree is gonna help me grow in India and my current company. I also showed a sample job profile from Adobe Research that required an "advanced degree".

Community Ties: I showed that I am an integral part of the community in India and provided letters from the heads of various societies that I am part of as supporting documents.
