Sorry, about the temporary delay on your application. The information on IRCC official correspondence is generic. You wont be able to make any informed meaning from it. Let them apply for GCMS notes to see if they would be more specific on their reasons. However, CV of husband and wife looks good. May i ask, there is a section of the application where it is requested to state "Amount available for your stay" How much was filled there?.

Secondly, what was declared as the main purpose of visit and in what province ( was someone planning to host them)? Hopefully, the GCMS notes would be more specific.

On the surface, i don't see any issue with their finances but there might be need for them to evaluate what they filled in their application.

First advice: apply for a GCM note to better understand the specific reason.

Recommendation for finance: in your next application, show proof of fund (bank statements - you and your husband), source of fund (pay slips, self employed - evidence of business transactions, if you use different account for salary, business and savings, include both bank statements - it shows evidence of what you earn/profit, where it is deposited and how it moves (savings and spending), letter of explanation - if there is any lump sum in the bank statements (as low as 300-500k: explain it).

Processing officer do not look at only the available money in your account. You have to show proof that it is available to you and the source of it. If the source cannot be verified, they deem it as inflated for visa purposes.

With that letter, you can't know the true reason why the applications were refused because the refusal letter is generic, and all those applicants who were refused in the past get the same letters and exactly the same wording.

You can apply for a GCMS note to see the reason the officer gave for the refusal.

Also, you can repackage and reapply immediately.

My advice is to send a webform requesting for the letter of explanation to be added to your file as it will provide clarity to the processing officer on your financial situation. As far as a decision is not yet made on the application, I will suggest you send it ASAP.

it is easier if you have a trusted person in Canada who can apply for the GCMS notes on your behalf. It cost just 5 Canadian dollars. But, must be someone you trust as it would involve you sharing your application ID and UCI with that person. However, you can also apply for it yourself.
I would have named some third party sites but not sure if that is allowed here. Go on Google and type "
GCMS Notes" As you scroll, you would see different 3rd party providers. Use any one of them also, you would be required to fill a consent form and sign with blue ink.

Secondly, looks like i see the problem; $2,500 for 15 days for husband and wife inclusive of accommodation in Toronto might not be sufficient. This is because Toronto is very expensive including the housing market. That may work in some other cheaper province. Lets do some quick math's. An average of $2500/15days = 167 Canadian per day for two adults and when we further divide this by husband and wife given 83 dollars per adult. Now bearing in mind, you would have to pay for transportation and some of these tourist attractions the couples would love to explore. I am also guessing this $2,500 also includes accommodation and if that is the case, then looks like we are seeing the officers concern.

NB: For tourist visa, there is no specific amount outlined by IRCC. Proof of funds depends on your duration of visit and the place of destination. Make sure the amount you quote as available for your stay covers adequately your trip putting into consideration your feeding, transport, entertainment expense and accommodation. I don't live in Toronto, would have advised on an estimate to work with but you can find out from someone who lives there or you do the research.


Finally, don't limit your trip to just one tourist site for a whole 15days. Try to check other interesting places to see. YouTube is your friend. Then redraft a detailed itinery in your next application.

I hope this helps.
