Just to add some closure to this thread. I ended up returning to Kenya and we were able to get married. I had to get the Quebec marriage search letter translated officially by the Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec (ottiaq.org) it was a long and difficult...

TRV for my spouse was approved and got the PPR today July 23rd! (43 days since we applied). Some details that might help others: My wife was not working or in school in Kenya. She has travelled to Tanzania twice before. I wrote an invitation letter where I explained how her family depends on...

Thanks for your reply and advice. It's disappointing to think we need to apply for a TRV and wait over a year for it to most likely be rejected before we can apply for sponsorship. I don't know how other Canadians can get married in Kenya but I had all the correct paperwork and they didn't let...

I've been reading this forum for a while and it's been really helpful so far. My partner and I are trying to live together in Canada and would really appreciate any advice on what to do. Thanks! I met my partner online in October 2020. She lives in Kenya and doesn't have any way to show strong...
