Hello, please bear with me .
my wife wants to sponsor me to stay permanently in Canada we met online but we have a genuine relationship. her family and mine approve us. now we are trying to gather the most information we could about sponsorship.however i have few questions to ask.

we never had any sort of celebration apart from getting married at the local Registry then the mosque. her family lives in vancouver they could not make it.however her dad was there with us! my question is will that jeopardize the process because we do not have pictures?

she has never been on welfare or got any sort of help from the government but her income is a bit low because some bosses pay you certain amount of money and the rest in cash so they can save up on taxes. is a low income sponsor considered as bad ?

when she moved in with me from Vancouver to Edmonton she didnt work right away took her about 4 months.do they consider that as well?

thank you

Every case is different, so it's hard to say, but just explain your situation as well as you can and provide evidence where possible.

Income is not considered for spousal sponsorship, so no worries there.

thanks Swede
so far this is how we intend to show that our marriage is genuine : we have all plane tickets saved because we used to visit each other like once a month for a weekend or so , postcards from her mom and dad , joint bank acounts, rent lease , car ownership . same billing address , she took my last name.letters from friends , could also print phone bills showing how often we communicated . we met online in November. then april for the first time in person, got married on july started living together on september till this day. does this hold water ;D????

It sounds like enough, but get the phone bills and an affidavit from Dad saying he attended the wedding ceremony.
Lack of photos, especially lack of photos of the wedding, is considered suspicious, but you have so much proof of your living together that it should be OK.
