Hello, This is my first time posting on this Forum.
My wife has received the following letter. All sources so far say that 80% of applications pass with no interview.
Should we be concerned ?
Do we need to bring any extra documentation or proof?
The email we received said nothing about bringing anything other than the requirements below.
Both my wife and i are not very wealthy and we do not receive money from our families. She came here on a student visa and now has a 3 year work permit. To this fact we did not have the money to throw around for a wedding so we had a small private ceremony. Any advice would be appreciated.
I love my wife and i would like for us to be able to stay in Canada if that is what we want. However if this interview does not go well .I am fully prepared to go with her back to Asia. Should i convey this to the interviewer if he asks?
