    Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

    Hi Guys, Rezan: I am not sure if sending that letter from your university will help.. It might go against you actually. The officer might think that you are more interested in attending school rather than reuniting with your spouse. That might cause suspicision as to why you are going to Canada...
