Hi

Has anyone had a home visit and mind sharing your story. My husband will be landing soon and was informed an immigration officer will be conducting a home visit.

1. Unlikely, since conditional visas only started in Oct/2012 so the visits or confirmation that the couple are still together won't happen until close to the end of the 2 year period.

Wow, that's really crazy and kind of an invasion of privacy. I wonder if that will actually be happening.

Okay thank you my husband tried to change our address but the officer said we have to be living at the address used when we filed. Is there a way in Canada we can change the address or notify someone? We're living with family for now but soon will get our own place.

They want to make sure we didn't marry just to get to Canada and that we're still living together.

Sorry, I just had a question to concern with you. If they want to come to your house to see that you guys live together then what is the problem. This will make your case stronger by letting them see for themselves how you are living in Canada. The reason they are doing this is because they are still not sure that you guys are married. People often get there cousins, sisters and even mother's to Canada by applying a spouse case as it is faster and effective way. If you guys are married 100% then you shouldn't have any problem showing that you are married. And for the last it is not going to hurt you or do any damage let them come.

Maybe your not understanding me clearly. My marriage is legit we married in Canada for love. We were married and in a relationship less than 2 years with no children. We filed Outland my husband was asked for his passport on Nov 29, 2013. When he went to the embassy the following Tuesday he signed a form under the new laws if you filed after Oct 25, 2012 a officer can come check in to your home to see if you both are married and living together. They took his passport, envelope and police clearance were waiting for it to come back. I was just curious if they do check ins once he lands and were together.

I don't think anyone has had to deal with this yet. Of course, I am saying I don't "THINK" ...

Perhaps that is just a formality stating that they could drop by to check it out if they had questions, but likely won't use it because their time and resources would be better suited elsewhere, unless of course there was information about you and he directed to them that might cause them to question it, ya know?

Essentially, I don't think they are going to be following him home to you is what I am saying!

Good luck!

I agree with Alurra71. While you mention that they made him sign said form, "I think" this visit has nothing at all to do with the new rules, they are like A71 said "following him home" to make sure it's with you (his sponsor). And if it's with your parents just maybe that's EVEN BETTER!

Dear friends,

Don't take it for granted that they might or might not come. Every case is unique and I can say this because of my friends who got visa and the officer said they might come to there house fro a visit and they did. Just be confident on what they ask you and tell what is best.

Again, there is no time to panic as if your marriage is not genuine then yes you are in trouble. But if it is genuine then there is no point of having to be afraid of such little things.

I get what you mean, but even genuine couples don't want to feel like they are being 'monitored' or that their privacy is being breached for whatever reason. Other couples don't go through this. So I think we need to be mindful of how much of our personal freedoms we give up for the sake of permanent residence, and remember we pay taxes just like everyone else.

Of course, but OP fails to mention some details. When I looked in the post history, I noticed that her husband was deported (or at least denied entry into Canada for over a year) from Canada and had recently received an ARC (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/inadmissibility/arc.asp)..

Since OP seems to have a problem with the CIC checks, I wonder if the marriage is as genuine as she makes it appear and by the looks of it, CIC shares that doubt with me, hence the home check.

First of all get your facts right my husband and I married in Canada for love so don't come and judge me with your smack. All I was asking is if anyone has had experience with this new law and share their experience. We don't mind them coming to check in on us they are more than welcome. I went and lived 4 months over seas if this is not love I don't know what it is. Secondly, my husband didn't require an ARC he went home on a 1 year exclsion order and served his one year ban. We would of filed inland but the lawyer that we hired advised us to apply Outland as it was quicker. If VO had a problem with our application thinking we're not genuine then we would of had an interview.

I don't need anymore feedback thanks discussion is closed I will learn from my experience when my husband comes home to me. It's sad you can't even ask a simply question without people judging you and a marriage when they don't even know you. Good luck everyone blessings to all.
