On a flight on a VMC day; all was going smoothly. On short final to Runway XXR; below the 1;000 foot call; I saw amber 'STEERING'; on the wheels system page and pointed this out to the FO (First Officer) who was PF (Pilot Flying); We then got an ECAM; WHEEL N/W STRG FAULT. Quickly discussed the situation and decided to continue on to land the aircraft. The FO was flying and continued to do so. After a beautiful landing; on roll out I took control of the aircraft; bellow 80 knots. I had no control of steering with the tiller. I used rudder and differential in-braking to exit the runway on the high speed exit and hold short Taxiway 1. Notified ATC that we could not taxi and were stopping on taxiway; clear of XXR and short of taxiway. Talked with ZZZ Maintenance and reset the A/SKID & N/W STRG; this cleared the ECAM. When I tried to taxi the plane the ECAM returned. Maintenance said they would send a tug to tow us to the gate. Sent a message for the fault. Notified Dispatch of our situation. After about 30 minutes; Maintenance arrived and talked with us. The mechanic said the nose wheel was canted. They asked us to try and reset a couple of circuit breakers. Discussed the situation With the FO and decided on no more trouble shooting and just be towed to the gate to get passengers off the plane. Maintenance agreed and we were towed uneventfully to the gate.
