Hi All
I went to Canada in 2002 sep 27 as a foreign student. At the end of my student visa period in 2004 I applied for refugee status. Which got rejected in 2005 followed by a failed appeal for RIB decision. After that I applied for PR under humanitarian compassionate grounds. This was 2005 and due to a misunderstanding with my previous legal counsel I forgot to update my address and missed a letter of request to show up at CBSA. What followed by was a deportation order that I wasn't aware of up until 2010. Once I explained what happened to CBSA officer He gave me an option to apply for PRRA in 2010. During this time I met my current wife at my Job and soon we started dating. In january 27, 2011 my PRRA application and HNC application received a negative decision. As I was heart broken and thinking of returning to Sri Lanka then my girl friend propose me to marry her. So we got married in 2011 feb 28. since we newly married, and didn't want to go through a separation I disobey my deportation order and stay with my wife while preparing to file for spousal sponsorship. In 2012 oct 27 my wife and I leave Canada voluntarily to proceed further with our application. My wife come to sri lanka and meet my family and relatives. Today she went back to Canada to be see her parents and spend some time with her friends. Dear friends it's an unfortunate that I met the love of my life at a difficult time. And we've been through so much for such little time. i have so many proofs to prove our love and our marriage is genuine. Please tell what's ahead of us and how long will it take for me to reunite with her in Canada? Also since my history isn't well, do you think i'd have a hard time getting back to Canada? Thanks
By the way i'm from Sri Lanka and my wife is canadian by birth.

You should expect that the processing of your application will take longer (possibly significantly longer) than the average for two reasons: An ARC will have to be processed as part of your application. I believe you can expect this processing to add several months to the overall processing time of your file. Your relationship will also be reviewed much more closely due to your failed refugee bid and the deportation order. You shouldn't be surprised if you are called for an interview to prove your relationship is genuine and not just a means of securing permanent status in Canada.
