[Vinnybagga]

Hii... i really need an advice if anyone knows something abou this , pls let me knw...
I was in relationship from last 4 years and before coming to canada on a student visa, i got legally married ... my marriage is registered in court and we do have certificates as well... we are photos also before after marriage... i went to india also after 1 year..we are having all photographs , but the things is we have not done the traditional wedding as done in india ...so is this possible that we can apply for spouse visa on the basis of court marriage only... but yes we can show some photos, proofs that yes we r in relationship ...
Pls let me knw m here from approx 2 yrs.

I don't think traditional weddings are that important. If you have a genuine marriage certificate from the court, that should be enough.

As long as your marriage is genuine, it doesn't matter whether you had a traditional wedding. I am not from India, but when we applied we did not have a traditional ceremony (like with the white dress and so on). Also, if you guys were going somewhere abroad, that could help with proving whether a marriage is real. But once again, each country has its own different rules.

I am from Ukraine, we got approved. My partner had F2 visa for the US (while I am on F1). If you guys went somewhere abroad together that could prove the marriage, or if your spouse has a dependant visa while you are principal holder.

Thank you for clarifying to Vinnybagga. That what I thought. As long as it is genuine, a traditional wedding is not necessary.

Everything that can prove your marriage is genuine. Pictures, travel history, "not sure about messages, not the TMI ones" everything you can think of.

Typically a court marriage certificate is enough, however India is considered to have fraudulent marriages to immigrate to Canada, this is why if you are not doing a traditional marriage then it is advisable to show all your previous chats, pictures, relationship proofs for being in relationship with your partner. But if it's an arrange marriage with no past relationship then just a marriage certificate might land you in trouble. Is it an old relationship or arrange marriage.
