Hello everyone
I applied for a visitors visa a couple of months ago to visit my partner. I’m a Ukrainian citizen legally living in the UK. After 6 weeks of waiting I’ve got a refusal based on my travel history and financial status. The reasons for refusal are extremely unclear for me. I’ve been traveling to a number of European countries such as France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy and UK. I’ve never overstated my visas or anything like that. I’ve been legally living in the uk for 3,5 years now. I also have a stable and decently paid job and a sufficient amount of savings available for my 1-2 weeks trip to Canada. I do intend to reapply at some point however I don’t know what I can really improve about my application as I can’t see any problems with my previous travel history or finances...
what could they possibly mean by those reasons? Any advice?

My partner is a Canadian citizen, we met just over a year ago in the uk. He’s got a well paid job and I’ve enclosed his earning statements to my application. Like I said I also have a stable job and I’m half way through my law degree in the uk. My stepdad is English so I’m here on a visa for another 1,5 years and then I’ll be able to apply for a British citizenship. I can’t be absent from uk for more than 90 days a year in order to qualify to a citizenship and I’ve also explained that in my Canadian application. But it seems as they were concerned mainly about my travel history and finances which sounds very strange to me..

Have your partner (or make the application on his behalf, using his name/passport to order the notes with your consent) order the officer's case notes from IRCC to get the specific reasoning (let's home) for the refusals.

But I thought that only Canadian citizens are allowed to do that request? Or can he do that request using my email address rather than his?
The latter. If you have any doubts, he can just put his email address and simply forward it to you when he receives it (or set up a mail filter or workflow to automatically forward it to you as soon as it's received).
