Please I am in Canada and writing on behalf of my brother in Ghana. My brother is a citizen of Canada who is currently staying in Ghana. His application to sponsor his spouse has recently been refused on the grounds that, according to the immigration officer the marriage is not genuine.
The genuineness of the marriage was raised by the immigration officer in charge of the case in the early stages of the application. As a result, my brother was asked to provide further information to prove genuineness of the marriage. After providing further particulars as requested, the immigration officer instructed my brother, his wife and all dependents to undergo a DNA test. The test proved that all the dependents in the application are children of my brother's wife. In the application, my brother stated that all the dependents belong to his wife and that he has no children with his wife.
We are surprised that the immigration officer has revisited the genuineness of the marriage after the DNA test proved them wrong. The officer has therefore refused the application based on genuineness of the marriage.
Please we would like to know if we have any solid grounds to appeal the decision. We would also like to know.
