Louise Marie, im sorry i didn' mean to offend you or anything..nor was i judging your relationship...i was giving my input in regards to what CIC considers of such cases. I am talking about probabilities that occur in such situations..LouisaMarie said:I haven't had the chance to check up on this for some time because I've been busy.... now I find this.
Tdot Champ whatever your name is..... maybe you should keep your judgements on the validity of my marriage to yourself. You don't know me.
Apparently you don't know how to read, otherwise you would see that I explained the criteria of our case and the events that lead up to it becoming a deportation order in my original post, so now I will repeat myself:
My husband offered to purchase his own ticket back to Lebanon upon receiving his departure order.
Immigration Canada INSISTED on purchasing it for him to ensure his departure.
They took their time buying his ticket (conveniently to make it turn into a deportation order) and when he overstayed because he was WAITING FOR THEM TO BUY HIS TICKET TO LEAVE, he asked them if it was going to be a deportation order and was told that it would not be.
He was lied to by immigration.
He also wasn't aware that he had to pay the money back, otherwise he would have done it once he got back to Lebanon.
He isn't a criminal. He was never arrested for anything the last time he was in Canada. He didn't do anything wrong to be asked to leave, his visa merely expired and they denied him refugee status.
He worked while he was here. He works in Lebanon. He'll work when he comes back. not everyone plunks themselves onto Social Assistance.
As for the "marriage of convenience" that you assume we have, it involves a small child. Having a child to better one's chances of immigrating is pathetic at best.
There's also a little thing called "humanitarian and compassionate grounds"
This means that his son has human rights - one of them is his right to be raised by both parents.
So go run your mouth off about the validity of someone's marriage elsewhere.
As for the rest that have posted, thanks for your input.
if you read my post again here is what i wrote in that post " The applicant did not want to leave Canada, and was deported and this could make VO think that he/she is in a marriage of convenience just for immigration. "
pay attention to the VO part ..... just tryin to help you out , not judge your marriage...this is how CIC people think and there is a reason for them to think like that because some people mess with the system and it makes it hard for the genuine ones...
i am sorry once again...my intention was only to share the truth not to offend anyone...
