Cdn sponsor Chinese wife

[tedk]

Thanks guys for the replies. I too type with one or two fingers. We should start a club.
Maybe I worry too much. I'm trying to get a feel for a bigger picture. If her visa is denied, won't it make a later outland sponsorship look more fake.
If she gets a visa and we marry here, how often are those cases denied or accepted? If that gets denied, there is no appeal?
She does have a job, but works seven days a week usually. I'm not sure if they would even give her a vacation so she could say she had a job.

I think toby has tried the visa route (and got denied) before. Anyways, his wife will get her COPR very soon.

From what I'[ve read she wouldn't get a vistor visa because she doesn't have much money, no house, car. Then for her to come here and deny she has a BF, stay longer than she originally stated, then get married, have both of us lie about our relationship. I have mixed feeling about doing this, on one hand it's could be faster for us and who are we hurting? On the other hand I see a CIC interviewer saying the marriage is a fraud because we had no previous envolvement, we can't tell them that we lied. And heaven help us if Regine rats her out for being a sex worker.

tedk...it looks to me like she would be 99% denied visitors's visa. She needs to show ties to her home country in order for the IO to be satisfied( property..family..job..etc)...and to my understanding it doesn't look like she does. But suppose you show them you have all this and she gets a Visitor's visa..and you get married her...they cannot claim that she lied abt not having a BF in Canada...you both were not bound legally and it's not their business as to where your relationship stands...

On the other hand...I think 9 mnths- Yr is good enough to decide if you want to share your life with someone or not...if you have enough evidance to proove your relationship..I don't see any harm in a spousal application. Good luck!

and on a final note...thought this is not relavant to me at all...regine's comments highly offensive...!

tedk's comments were offensive. Regine was explaining to him why they were.

Maybe everyone would like to lighten up and get back on topic?

Ted, the length of your relationship before marriage is an issue IF you do not substantiate it properly. It's all in the development of things and you need to be able to show how things moved from one stage to another. I'll use my husband and myself as an example: we met online in a totally random fashion in March of 2009. By December of 2009, still without actually having met "in person", but having logged hundreds of hours in MSN chat with and without webcams, he asked me to marry him. I said yes, and we made plans for him to come to Jamaica. We were married June 2010 after living together for 8 weeks. Can you "red flags" popping up everywhere for CIC? Yes, we know, but we prepared our application with that in mind.

Look back at your relationship, how things developed. Prepare to write a heartfelt summary of how things moved along from meeting to marrying, and to show you pursued the relationship wholeheartedly. Prepare to show how you communicate (as Toby asked, how's your command of each other's languages?), how you overcome any other barriers (education, culture, age) and how you have combined your lives and presented yourselves to each other's families and friends. Yes, I know she's never been to Canada, but have you made efforts to introduce her to your family otherwise? Skype is a marvelous thing. Or even just telephone calls. My father-in-law passed away without meeting me in person, but we spent many hours talking on the phone (well, he talked, I listened, but you get the idea).

As toby said, welcome to the underworld of international bureaucracy. The good news is, others like toby have blazed the trail, so it can be done. And you couldn't be in a better place to find help.

Thankyou for your reply Charlie & others. I feel better about rushing the marriage now. I've never heard of Skype before. What a great idea ,thanks. I don't have speakers or a camera for my computer because my cats eat the wires.
