What was once overlooked may not be overlooked now. How long can you show you were dating before your wedding? Had you lived together before you lost status and for how long? Did either of your families attend the wedding? IRCC is looking for family sponsorship cases where applicants have not had a pathway to PR themselves. They are aware that marriages are being arranged to try and secure status for temporary residents who have not been able to secure PR or a WP on their own.
We have now lived together for 4 months
We have joint bank accounts with money given to us at our wedding. We attached pictures of bridal shower, bachelor party, engagement pictures and lots of pictures of outings, with friends and family.
Attached joint vehicle insurance, lease, financial support as well. I believe our relationship is genuine and we got married to stay together and build future here in Canada. I was prepared to leave Canada after my pgwp expired, but I am significantly attached to my wife and she is significantly attached to me. Emotionally and physically.
Edit- accidentally wrote 4 years instead of months

Would you at least agree that it is NOT clear if more than one could be a potential issue?
I think that's a bizarre interpretation, and one would have to believe some odd things about how such policies are conceived and then implemented to think that would be intentional without language that explicitly made it clear that it was no more than one. And if unintentional, it would be easily challenged before a tribunal or a court (i.e. they would change that language pretty early on, as soon as it was discovered, to avoid further issues).

I am in fact surprised anyone would suggest such a thing would be a policy without some concrete cases to indicate it was true.

So if you have them, now would be the time to mention them. Otherwise I'm sticking to my base assumption that this is, ahem, not a thing.
