Hey guys, I contacted my MP a few days ago asking to follow up on our application. Unfortunately, her assistant called me yesterday saying he'd had a conversation with Ankara and they rejected our application on that day (interesting coincidence!). He was not able to tell me why they rejected the application, only that the applicant is not eligible, and told me they'd be in touch with the decision/reason and the next steps to appeal, etc. in a couple of weeks. I see today that the status has changed to Decision Made on ECAS, but with no additional information. The CIC dashboard still says our application is in process. It's very interesting because we even received the pre-arrival about a month ago, so not sure what caused this decision.
I wanted to ask if you've ever heard of a spousal sponsorship application being rejected and if so, what was the reason for it? Thank you.

On Canadavisa forums I have seen cases where they had doubt over the genuineness of the relationship - majorly factors such as age difference, religious differences, not knowing each other since considerable time, etc...in some other cases, they did not doubt the relationship, they had concerns that although its genuine, but the marriage is not culturally/religiously consummated
I've had them doubt the relationship before but usually with more documentation they will except the application it's strange that you received the pre-arrival letter and then they rejected your application. Had they approved it before and then change the decision or was this the first time you had a decision made.
VAC office for submitting passport. Couple days after I sent my passport VFS sent me email that my passport had been received and by IRCC office in Ankara embassy and it’s under process. I think they should have send you email. You didn’t get any email from VAC office after sending them passport ?
It's unfortunate to hear
Did they ask for additional documents any time along the process? If yes do you mind sharing what they asked for
They did, they asked for our status in the US and a letter confirming that my employer knows that I will resign in the near future to move to Canada. We sent all that to them back in September.
It's weird
I know a couple that appealed and the got accept after that. Hopefully the same happens for you as well
Thank you. Do you know how long the appeal process took for them?
