Visit Visa Application (Using the new IRCC Portal)

[Naturgrl]

Hi!

I would like to check if someone experience the same thing we experienced for Visit Visa application in CA? We are planning to get married in CA and both of us are outside CA. We already have a commissioner for our wedding and we will visit CA for 8 days only. We applied last month and it was refused as we didn't submitted sufficient documents. We reapplied 3 days ago through the new portal and we submitted the following:

1. Common law proof
   1. Joint bank accounts
   2. Tenancy agreements
   3. Bills with our names with same address
2. Proof of funds
   1. Joint bank account
   2. Personal Account
3. Passport
   1. 3 passports each that reflects our Travel history for 5 years, including AUS
4. Immigration Status
   1. proof of our Immigration (IDs) and its validity
5. Employment Letter
   1. Employment letter stating our approved leave, validity of our contract
   2. company contract
6. Additional Docs:
   1. Letter of Intent stating our relationship and plans for the wedding
   2. Letter from our Marriage Commissioner
   3. Photos of us together and our engagement
   4. Passport of my Fiancé
   5. Birth Certificates
   6. Flight Booking
   7. Hotel Booking
   8. Vaccination Records(Pfizer)
   9. Investments (Land Titles, Real Estate Fire Insurance and MRI
   10. Family Particulars

We also submitted our applications separately as we are both in 2 different countries. Does anyone has any experience same as us? Do you think the documents we submitted are sufficient? Thank you

So your reason to come to Canada is only to get married? Why do you need to come to Canada to do it? Because of Covid, travel is only for family reunification, work, study etc. You are coming for tourist purposes.

How do you track your passport?
I sent it by mail and it's been delivered to the VFS Global office but I haven't heard anything from them.
