I want to apply for a Canadian visitor visa to visit my boyfriend. My boyfriend will state in the invitation letter that he will bear my expenses. Do I not need to provide proof of assets?

It is recommended to change agents immediately. Application materials like yours will only be considered to have a tendency to immigrate and directly reject the visa, and there is basically no possibility of applying again.

Unless it is your husband who is in Canada, you can apply for reunion immigration. Otherwise, if you apply for a visitor visa in this way, you have a clear intention to immigrate (the other half is in Canada). The embassy officer will not refuse you to apply for the visa, but he will apply for it himself. Immediately laid off.

None of your application materials should mention that your significant other is in Canada. You can only apply for a general tourist visa. The asset expenses are still provided by you and your parents. The purpose is tourism. Don't mention anything else, otherwise you will be rejected several times, and you will easily enter the blacklist, and it will be impossible to change the purpose of your trip later.
