Hi guys,
I live in Canada, and my girlfriend is Brazilian. In a few years we will get married and I will sponsor her to Canada.
My dilemmas are:
1. I call her by using calling cards (since it's cheaper that way, because regular long distance calls are mighty expensive as you know), but I'm aware that the CIC does not accept calling cards as proofs of communication. The phone bills don't actually show that I call her number, but instead the number of the calling card company.
So how would I prove our calls then?! I'm sure many of you are/were in the same situation, and I'd be interested to know how you go about doing this.
2. I'm the one who mostly make the calls. There's a couple reasons....first: she's still a student and can't afford too many calling cards, second: in the city where she lives, it's kind of hard to find calling cards anyway, and those that she can find usually don't work well at all. Do you think this can cause the CIC to be suspicious, or at least think it's strange that I'm the one who calls?
Note: apart from phone calls, we communicate daily using emails and MSN Messenger, and we send snail mail letters and cards as well, once in a while. But I'm not too sure if these alone are enough if not accompanied with phone bills.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
