do Canadian children enough to proof relationship?

[Charles26]

Hi
I will sponsor my wife
We are together since 2009
She live outside of Canada
We have 2 kids who are Canadian because I am
I travel there 4 times per year because we wanted the kids to know my home country culture
Now it is time to move to Canada
So will the fact that we have kids will be enough to proof our relationship?

Thank you
Canada revenue agency did verify and confirm our marriage

Having children together doesn't prove as much as you'd think...but it does help.

Unfortunately, CRA verifying and confirming your marriage also doesn't prove that it is a genuine marriage (which I'm sure it is).

think so. not much but it does help.
when I mailed my application, our daughter was only 6 month old (we have been together for years at that time)
of course I sent some pics she is in it (delivery room, family outing etc)
VO has not requested more pics or docs to prove our relationship.

sure you have a lot of pics (flight tickets) as evidence of your relationship.

CIC will not automatically determine your relationship is genuine because of a child alone.

Be sure to include evidence such as - call logs, showing length of calls. Messages, Chats, Skype etc.. pictures of you together, pictures of you meeting eachother's families.

You need to demonstrate to CIC that you have had continuous contact with your spouse and it helps to show the development of your relationship, in my opinion! (Showing when you guys decided to start dating, get engaged, get married etc... and what those conversations looked like, if you have them
