"For the purpose of these regulations, no foreign national should be considered a spouse, a common law partner if the marriage is not genuine and was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Act."
You have stated that ruksati is not planned until the visa is obtained.....
Further immigration officer asked "Please advise what plans you and your sponsor have if your application for permanent residence is not approved" and advised to submit substantial evidence to ensure all elements of genuine relationship to your sponsor before any final decision is made...
Hi All,
This section in the regulations now has me on edge. The marriage between my wife and I was arranged and we performed the Nikkah ceremony over telephone and have not held rukasti as I have not been back to Pakistan since Nikkah was completed.
Two reasons prevent me from going back. One is my work will not grant me extended leave as there is no replacement for the responsibilities I have. Second is my exposure to the Western culture and media, I am a Canadian born citizen and feel coached through media and travel advisories issues on CIC website that travel to Pakistan is not safe.
We explained the reasonings behind why we performed Nikkah ceremony over the telephone (work responsibilities, not the safety concern as that has been just an emotion)and our intentions to have reception and honeymoon when my wife arrive to Canada. But after reading the letter loon received I am worried I will receive the same one in due time.
We speak on the telephone daily, message with texts daily and provided additional communication evidence with the supplemental form received with the AOR.
I'm really concerned.
