Hi good people. I am applying for my spouse's visitor visa. She has applied for her spousal PR on 1/13. Her earlier TRV application (before we got married) was denied due to a giant goof up by the agent (non RCIC). I had pulled up the GCMS notes but there was nothing in it.
This is what went wrong with the earlier application:
In June she applied along with her parents for her visitor visa as a group and it was rejected. We took the gcms notes and the reason for refusal was not enough ties and inconsistent reason for visiting Canada (Reason was to visit a friend but the agent applied via IRCC portal and also mentioned that my then fiancée would be visiting a university) and finances (consultant only showed CAD 3000 for a two week trip for a family of 3).
These are the changes we are bringing into the application this time. (I am just putting the cover letter here).

Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is xxx and I am writing this application to request you for a visitor visa to Canada. I work as an Analyst with xxx.
I have been approved for my leave from April 15 2022 through May 9 2002. I am very keen to spend this time visiting my husband xxx residing in Toronto. xxx is a permanent resident of Canada and I will be staying with him at his apartment during my course of vacation. I will be celebrating our anniversary (April 15) and my husband’s birthday (May 8).
I have visited several countries and have extensive travel history. Here are the details of my travel history:
1. Singapore - May 2015 (visitor)
2. Hong Kong - 2016 (visitor)
3. England - 2017 (visitor)
4. France, Italy, Spain - 2018 (visitor)
5. England - Oct 2018 to Dec 2019 (student)
6. Thailand - June 2022 (visitor)
7. Dubai - July 2022 - Aug 2022 (visitor)
8. England - Sept 2022 to Nov 2022 (visitor)
9. Turkey - Nov 2022 - Dec 2022 (visitor)
I have applied for permanent residency under family class and my UCI number is xxx. I had earlier applied for my visitor visa with my family in June with application number xxx. Firstly, during my earlier application I had made an error in showing proof of funds. I had mentioned only CAD 3000 in the application form despite possessing over CAD 25,000 as liquid funds in my bank account. My trip will be sponsored by my husband and I (attached bank statements of me (CAD 10,000) and my husband (CAD 200,000)). Secondly, my reason for visiting was inconsistent in my earlier application. I had mentioned that I wanted to visit a family friend with my parents and also to visit a prospective university. Now, I want to spend quality time with my husband and celebrate our anniversary and his birthday.
I will be applying under the dual intent family reunification class for my visitor visa. However I would need to exit Canada on May 9 as I have to report for work on May 10 2022. I assure you that I will not overstay my temporary resident status as that may jeopardize my permanent residence application.
I hope that this information will sufficiently demonstrate my intentions of travel and allow you to issue the necessary visitor’s visa to me. I undertake to make sure that I do not remain in Canada further than the period allowed for my stay.
Thank you for your time.
Can you good folks please peruse and advise on the cover letter.
