My husband had applied for visitor visa to Canada from india to travel along with me for the wedding of my brother who is a citizen of Canada in the beginning of the month of May. We applied visa, paid 100+80dollars including the biometric charges. And attached wedding card, mentioned our period of stay and intention of travel and also mentioned that our finance will be sponsored by my brother and his bank details were provided. We also mentioned in the application that I am his wife and he has a job in india. After the biometric was successfully completed on 17/1/23, we were waiting for further processing. To our shock we came to know that visa is refused based on absurd grounds.
1. They are not satisfied that he is going to return back to India.
2. Your finances are appearing not enough.
3. You don't seem to have family ties outside of Canada.
4. Your reason of travel doesn't match with the temporary stay period you mentioned in the application.
All this we don't understand. We are in a bad spot right now as we have already booked our two way tickets to Canada after the biomterics, and as I looked into such cases, where they say you have to re apply it again and chances are bleak for acceptance if you don't have anything new to present your case. I have also raised a complaint on the webform and attached few documents including the letter of invitation and my brothers bank statement. Husbands cover letter of the purpose of travel, our marriage certificate. And the tickets copy booked. I called high commission as you can't approach ircc directly. They say webform takes time. Sometimes more than 28days. We don't have money to reapply visa, even if we do, what if it again gets rejected. Please someone help us. So that he can get his visa and we can travel for the wedding .

Once again , if someone else says they’ll pay for all your expenses it’ll severely lessen your chances of getting approved .
You have to show you can afford it , not the person in Canada . If you can’t afford the money to reapply for the visa , I’d probably be rethinking your trip .
It’s recommended never to buy airline tickets till approved .
The onus is on you to show strong ties , funds , travel history , not the person who invites you .
How long was your stay planned ?
You have to SHOW you’ll return to home

IRCC states on the website not to buy airfare so nothing to complain about. You need to show your own funds to support your visit so your brother’s accounts are not relevant. Do you have the funds to support a visit? It is a big red flag if brother is supporting your trip. Grounds are not absurd as you can’t afford your own trip to Canada. If you cannot afford to reapply then IRCC was correct in refusal. What family ties does he have in India - children? As as spouse, you are his ties. Parents don’t count.

I'm his ties as in family count, he has a job in India. How much minimum does one need to show in funds for oneself? And what can be done? Can webform alone do with the attached documents. ?

How long is visit? How much of your own funds did you show? Did you include job letter with approved leave? He has no family ties in home country so needs a strong profile. You have been refused so not sure what a webform will do. And IRCC was justified in the refusal. He needs to reapply.

It's 20 days, we showed 330 dollars of our own. No job letter wasn't asked in the application so we didn't. What to show for family ties? He has sisters, his family home. What can be shown?

That is all for a 3 week visit. 330 may not even get a Uber to the airport and back from your destination. How will you survive on that for 3 weeks? He needs to show around $5-$10k for visit if airfare is paid for. His sisters are not ties. Is the home in his name? If so, include house deed. Also get employment letter with approved leave. No sense in asking for reconsideration or raising forms through webform. Reapply if he can address reasons for refusal.

No house is not in his name. Neither do I. But I have a visa.

So you can visit Canada. You’re having a visa has no bearing on your spouse’s application. Come to Canada and visit and show that you abided by immigration laws to prove that your spouse also abide by rules. Not sure if that will work because your spouse’s only family ties are you and you can visit Canada.

What is your current status in Canada or are you a visitor as well? Have either of you ever applied a study Permit, WP or express entry to Canada! How many relatives do you have in Canada?

Lets say your brother and him get into a fight and asks you to leave the house. Now you might say that will never happen but we all know fights happen within families all the time.
Your brother is under no obligation to pay for your stay even if he said it in invitation letter. So for $330 you might only get 3 days at a hotel. Then what would you do when your money runs out and it's not 20 days for your return flight?
Another scenario, now since you only had $330 shown I'm going to assume you didn't get medical insurance for both of you. If you did great, but if you didnt what would happen if you had an accident. I know of a person who broke their leg attending a wedding, now what if that unfortunately happens to you who would pay the medical bills?

I'd reject your visa too based on what you've said. This is ridiculous. Why can't you and all parties establish your financial independence and ability to fund and leave Canada during your stay, without any reliance on any other parties?

IRCC was right to reject you - if you need to be financially sponsored despite your husband supposedly having a job, then that's a massive red flag.
