If she mentioned SINGLE on her application, she MUST NOT get married and should go, and land first in Canada and return back to Pakistan and then get married. And don't mention about marriage at all to CIC during landing or they may get suspiciousinexplored said:Hello member, I have a question hoping will get the best feedback as usual Wink. One of my family member has submitted her passport for visa stamp( Under Family sponsorship). She has been engaged and we were hoping to have her nikka done before she has booked her flight and landed. She has been mentioned single on her app.
Question: Is nikka would jeopardize her visa? Also assuming we get her nikka done and she is sponsoring her spouse in the near future, would nikka being done on a visa issued under a single status?
The reason of asking this question is pretty straight forward, saving time and getting spousal application in without wasting any time. Would appreciate your kind replies.
Also may I also know how long does it take for VFS to return passport now a days? Thanks
If she declares that she is single, but gets married and then lands (without informing CIC/Visa office), it will be misrepresentation and she could even be deported and have her PR cancelled and lots of trouble. If she marries and still lands as single, and CIC finds out, she will NEVER be able to sponsor her husband to Canada. Again problems whole life.
If she gets MARRIED before landing, she must return her visa to cic, inform them of her marriage, submit documents of spouse and wait for his medical and security clearances and then visas before going to Canada. Note in this case, if medical of husband gets rejection(god forbid), then her whole application will be refused.
CIC clearly states in their application and correspondence that any change in status/family circumstances must be notified to them.
Hiding facts is never good and can lead to misrepresentation
My advice, don't get married, go to Canada and land, and return to Pakistan. Someone can courier or bring her PR Card to Pakistan.
Then she gets married, and then moves to Canada and sponsors her husband. It's a lot easier and this way her husband would be exempt from rejection due to medical issues if any are found and its easier.
