I applied for a visitor visa on 20th Feb 2023, decision came in 2 days stating assets and financial situation, which is not at all valid. I have shown enough sufficient fund for my two weeks visit and even had the Invitation letter from my real sister.

The same reason i got when i applies last year in Jan-22 and the decision came in 2 days again at that time.

What should be my next steps? Can i file for an appeal? Please suggest next steps

How much funds did you show? Personal liquid funds, not your sister’s.

first apply gcms notes and then send reconsideration request through webform... there's no appeal system in IRCC however you can hire an immigration lawyer and file judicial review and that would cost minimum you 8 to10K $ and you have to wait several months and there's no guarantee for positive result

Is there any timeline for submitting reconsideration request ? i can apply for GCMS notes, i did the same last year as well but i think that takes time to get the notes and i hope i dont miss the deadline of reconsideration request.

you should apply as soon as possible and you don't need to wait for the notes, just apply notes and then next day submit reconsideration request. but make sure that you need to counter all the refusal reasons with strong arguments and give reference of documents which were submitted and don't include any new document with reconsideration request

One more thing, is it mandatory to apply for GCMS notes ? or i can apply straightway reconsideration request? also, when i will raise reconsideration request are the visa officers bound to see my request or they can ingore the request as well?

not mandatory but it will trigger the process and i can't explain it much but its just a suggestion based on my personal experience and keep this in mind that there's no such guarantee that IRCC will reopen your file but I'm sure they see each request and if they find any error in decision then they will send the case to the senior migration officer for his/her review and his/her decision will be final

Not sure if you applied using new portal, try using old GCKey way, as rejections seem to be high with new portal as it seems IRCC use AI for new portal.

I think i should raise a request through immigartion lawyer and let's see how it goes from there.
