@lyn just remember, spousal application needs more paperworks makes it riskier. u and your spouse should prove your relationship is genuine and not intented to get status in canada. you and your husband need to prove you've been together for a yr. phone history,photos, letters from family members.tons paperwork and riskier because the officer will decide the genuineness of the said relationship. i never want that risk, and for me, i did 24mos. highs and lows, gettin my owp under lcp,will be d sweetest victory! that's just my opinion..
