After how long of meeting your spouse did you get married?Me was quick!?
 
It's going to vary by couple. The key is to be able to demonstrate that your relationship is genuine since the only concern they should have is to confirm this is not a "marriage of convenience".

Good luck with your interview.
 
1 year and a half for me...
 
Meeting in person? Just over a year. He proposed to me the first time we met in person, but we've known each other for four years prior to that.
 
well yea its true they just have a concern that how genuine your marriage is,in my case our marriage is totally arrange marriage and we talk on skype and phone just two months and got married my wife came from Canada just with her mother even not her siblings and father,so according to our religion we did the nikkah and present that in pictures its full wedding and send 6kg box with our application in which all the proofs of our communication our friends comments on Facebook emails text record messages air tickets boarding passes before wedding we hangout as well so that pictures after nikkha my wife gone back to Canada we didn't met after but all these proofs showed our marriage is genuine.so Thanks to pretty God my case took only all together 5 months even though time line is about 9 months,

so my advise to you keep all the proofs as much as pictures e mails text messages record all marriage expenses receipts which is very important i mean as much much proof you can give you can
 
6 years - I met my husband in 2001 and we got married in 2007.
 
I met him the 7th of the month and got married the 23 of the same month 2010.I stayed 2months after marriage and i went to visit him a year later and going back again in 2months.
We have over 100wedding pictures, picture of our trips(holding each other,kissg), hundreds of pages of skype and phone history, proofs on my passport that i went to visit him.. I wonder if that is enough(my parents and siblings attended the wedding beside one of my brother). I am suffering from depression and angry very easily with all this tension on waiting. I am loosing my personality, i cant believe its on officer hand to predict our future. For all those who use marriage of convenience they deserve hell. We are suffering because of them. I wish you all the best !

Better 1,000 innocent people suffer than one guilty one go free!

(and this is intended to be ironic. Now 33 months into the immigration process I know how painful the waiting game is, and I'm sure I have at least another year to go.)
 
About 8 months from first physical meeting to marriage.....but we only saw each other for 6 days total before we got married.

We met in 2004 and we still aren't married ;)
I guess I can him as my claim common law spouse now that I have lived in Canada a few years, but I was a conjugal partner applicant for the PR process.
 
We married after 3 years of meeting. We met 4 years ago.

you are right, am sorry to hear about your waiting, it must be hard, have you appealed or just reapplied? I wish you the best of luck and that you are united with your spouse very soon.

wow nice, did you pass the interview?or any news about it?
 
No, you're totally not. My friends looked at me funny when I told them we only saw each other twice in 2 trips of 3 days each, but when you know, you know. Granted, Buffalo does not scrutinize relationship genuineness as much as other VOs do, particularly for U.S. citizens, but still, if you can prove you're genuine, it doesn't matter your history or lack thereof. By the way, I would have had no problem seeing him in the flesh for a longer period of time but it's kind of expensive flying from D.C. to Montreal and back. Thus I only did the two trips. Good luck to you though!! :)
