Question I hope someone can help me at this current time I am in a nasty court battle with the ex for custody and support for my little one is there anyway that this could affect my sponship application or visa versa the application could affect my court case? Or am I being overly paro?
It depends on how long that custody battle has been ongoing and the time-frame of your relationship with the ex compared to the time-frame of your relationship with your husband. By the way, I hope this is also one of the subjects you have covered thoroughly with your husband for his interview. While it concerns your life and doings in Canada, don't feel that they won't bring it up and try to question him on it, and if he stumbles in answering the questions, they might feel that these are things he should know and be aware of as your spouse and the child's stepfather, and decide your marriage is not genuine. He should be able to answer detailed questions about your ex relationship: when it began, when it ended, why it ended, that sort of thing; as well as detailed questions about his stepchild: what they do in school, what they do with their free time, DOB, favourite toy even. CIC has a way of wanting to know, not so much about the applicant, but how much the applicant knows about their spouse and their spouse's life in Canada.
My advice when dealing with CIC: be as paranoid as you wish. As a teacher of mine used to say, Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. I'm not saying this to scare you, I'm saying this so you prepare to the last degree. There is nothing wrong with being over-prepared, but being under-prepared can seriously setback your plans.
that's great though. At least now you know they are working on your file even if they just opened it.
