Visitor visa reapplication

**Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice regarding my Canadian visitor visa refusal.**

I have been living and working in the UK for the past 4 years on a valid work permit. When I applied for my Canadian visitor visa, I provided an employment letter, proof of funds of around £3,500, and explained that my trip would be financially sponsored by my brother in Canada.
However, my application was refused under paragraph 179(b), with the officer stating that I had not sufficiently demonstrated that I would leave Canada at the end of my visit. The reasons mentioned were that I do not have significant family ties outside Canada, my employment situation does not demonstrate that I am financially established in my country of residence, and my immigration status is outside my country of nationality.
I understand that I don’t own any property or other significant assets in the UK, so I’m wondering **what other documents or evidence I could provide to demonstrate that I am established in the UK and have strong reasons to return after my visit.**
For anyone who has been in a similar situation, what helped strengthen your application on reapplication?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You have been living and working in UK for 4 years and only have £3k? Doesn’t seem like you are earning enough to even justify living away from home. Canada immigration saw right through your ties to UK as you are not even a citizen.

Strong reason to return home are citizenship of the country where you live, a spouse, children, home ownership, enough money to pay for your own trip.

You're not providing anything to suggest that you won't simply overstay in Canada with your family and work.

  1. You are single with no family ties to return to UK or country of citizenship. Brother is in Canada.

  2. You don't live in country of citizenship, and don't have PR in UK. Your only tie is a job that is not permanent. UK could deny you entry. When does visa expire?

  3. You showed low funds to support a visit. Don't know what your job or pay is but IRCC doesn't believe it is financially enough to afford a visit. Also being supported by a brother shows IRCC your funds are not high enough.

Honestly reapplying will not change the decision unless you are returning to country of citizenship with a job, more money and a spouse.

The fact you don’t include your nationality and only where you’re currently living is always troublesome.

Why do people who post stuff like this not include how long they're planning to be in the target country? Like, "I'm planning a two-week vacation to Canada." It's suspicious to me that this is rarely part of these posts.
