Jazz, did you not attach the employer's letter? For return ticket, you can get a dummy ticket booked with a travel agent locally. They will charge you INR 1 or 2k.
I am not sure why they include spouse in immediate family member when they intend to refuse the visa.

I have applied for my spouse as well. Getting worried now. All docs are attached though. Just praying for a positive outcome

Stay positive man!

Stay positive man but also please prepare your mind to accept any result. Rejection rate for spouse visitor visa is high! IRCC is thinking that people applying for visitor visa will overstay. (May be based on the data that many stayed illegally which is reflecting our VISAs now)

Thanks @Jazz38 Like you said, I am preparing myself for the worst. Me and my wife have done what we could on the application. I think they should prioritize spouse more than parents as immediate family. It's ulta. I really do no know what the deal is in terms of overstaying. It's not like they're burdening the govt.
