Hi Patrick,

Just to ask you and anyone else who knows, along with the visa and passport what else are they sending in terms of documents?

Hi ambar,

they are going to send your passport with the visa stamped on it, and a triplicate with the visa data and the address in canada and some other informations, and that will be filled and signed by you in front of the officer at the port of entry in canada.

regards

i got this from another thread in this website it is not clear 100% what it means and how they will asses the decision i hope we can discuss it here in this thread too.

Further to the discussion started in this previous thread, http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/changes-to-immigration-regs-affecting-spousalclcp-applications-expected-soon-t53171.0.html;msg429300#msg429300

the Regulations have now been changed and are the law.

See Operational Bulletin 238

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2010/ob238.asp

Specifically:

Amended provision
The amended R4 provision provides for each of the two “bad faith” tests to stand on its own and separates the requirement related to spouses, common-law partners and conjugal partners (R4(1)) from that related to adopted children (R4(2)). The amended R4 provision reads as follows:

4. (1) For the purposes of these Regulations, a foreign national shall not be considered a spouse, a common-law partner or a conjugal partner of a person if the marriage, common-law partnership or conjugal partnership

(a) was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Act; or
(b) is not genuine.


AND

Implications
Assessing the bona fides of spousal, common-law or conjugal relationships
These changes will enable CIC and CBSA to deal more effectively with marriages of convenience, an ongoing issue of concern. They will allow officers to determine that a spousal, common-law or conjugal relationship is not bona fide if it is either not genuine or was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring a status or privilege under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Henceforth, only one of the two criteria will need to be present to determine that a relationship is not bona fide.

I am not clear about it. All of those who applied for permanen residency wants to obtain a permanent resident status. Therefore they should refuse all people !!!!!!!!

yeah exactly rezan i am not sure what it means and how they will check to prove that your primary goal was not to obtain the status i read in other threads before that the french version was like this and not the english so maybe it is only an update i am not sure .i know my wife since august 2007 it has been 3 years and if my intention was to obtain a status i would do it loooong time ago but my relationship is based on love and there is no doubt in genuinity of the marriage cuz i got engaged 5 months prior to my marriage so i dont know what they meant and what will be the consincuences well we just have to wait and hope the best for all of us.

Hello All,

We're done. My wife got a call in the morning. She'll probably go personally to Syria either this week or next week.

Good luck to all of you.
