marriage after 9 months of living togheter

[bulgabulga]

We are building our family, but looks like it's hard to show.. so I wanted to ask you guys which red flags we need to give more proofs showing we are in a genuine relation?!

I'm from Bulgaria(visa need), multiple entries visa on passport but resident european visa-extept for last 7 years. Next year I'm getting a visa extepmt passport
She canadian born, traveled outside Canada for last 5 years, got back in Canada last Sept. and start worked normal paying job for a few months so her tax for last years are not big.
We never met in Europe just here this year.


1 year ago - We start talking on a online game Sept '14 and kept close relation for 6 months until this year in March.
In March 2015 I came for first time in Canada to visit her and a friend of mine and after 1 month staying as free volunteers at a project, we moved directly together.
In April 2015 we rent a place, a car and start having a strong relationship.
I renewed my visitor visa, and Now 7 months after living together we engaged and decided to move our life in new city of BC, being very attached to this part of Canada and get married in our 10 month of relation.
I know her parents, stayed with them and their family know about me. My family is not close to me, I have just 1 parent without possibility to come.
Her parents, friends, and relatives are going to be at marriage
We have a lot of profs showing we have been living together and still living, bills, wedding pictures and while traveling.

We both have just college degrees. I'm a IT freelancer and have a good income with the work I do online. She's doing a normal job to pay cover expenses.
She Never been on welfare or married, me neither. While she was living abroad, she tried 3 years ago to do a common-in-law with a mexican but was refused.

During the process we will be living together, we have proofs of savings, and we will receive support from friends and parents with financial letters & accommodation if we need untill we establish!

We will be applying inland in our 11 months to continue our family.

The thing that stands out to me is the former sponsorship attempt, why was it refused?

 

[DanSlh]

I would definitelly apply outland.
You can even living in Canada.
The processing times are very shorter.
Why was the visa refused? The sponsorship part or the applicant?
Maybe your application will be a bit scrutinized because of this.

Her ex relationship was Refused for lack of proofs for with common in law!



The flags that comes in my mind are: we know each other for 1 year and half; but we have been living together in Canada last 9 months then married. She never visited my parents in Europe, at my first entry in Canada after 9 months of staying together we got married. I'm not a visa exempt.
We want to apply inland because maybe with a OWP would be easy to help the family staying close.

Personally, if I were you, I would wait to apply and try to live together for the full year to apply for Common-Law outland. It's quicker for one. Plus, and not at all trying to butt in on your situation with your partner, 9 months is a really short time to form an intimate relationship and get married. Not saying it can't or doesn't work, but when it comes to moving to another country, this isn't something you'd usually want to rush. Not to mention you'd be able to gather a lot more proof for your application. Good luck on whatever your decision is.

Me and my husband got married after knowing each other for only 6 months. We didn't send much proof either - just the wedding and other photos. I'm a PR now

 

[mercyofGod]

Don't let the period of knowing each other scares you, my partner and l got married after 6 months and we never stay together or meet each other physically before, you will be fine but my concern is the sponsor previous refusal in which your sponsor need to show legal proof that they are no longer together because this is exactly what made VO refused an applicant early this month, the VO said the sponsor did not show legal evidence of separation, and an outland application will be the best, l wish you good luck.

Ok, I understand and I'll proceed inland. Continuing our dream to live in BC.
For the end of ex relationship we have some proofs,
last thing is that the parents live in Ontario/small town and we are moving in BC where she just got a new cashier job to support expenses and where we have some friends that are supporting. Ceremony will be with friends in BC & a second unofficial ceremony at her family home with relatives.
(coming from backpackers and hitchhiking culture.. )We just want to have a small house with a garden somewhere in nature to spend our life and travel cheap like we always did! . Nothing more.

What I meant by the question was, if they were applying for common-law, she might need to explain what happened to that relationship. I realise life happens and people break up, but if she went so far as to go through this process with someone they might ask questions about why they didn't appeal or go through the system to get him approved. They could have got married and reapplied, for instance.

Just as long as they don't think she is shopping around for marriages or something. You say you are backpackers so it would be good to explain why she meets many people from around the world.

thanks for the suggestion! it's a good point for make a stronger application!

she couldnt stay more there, and later after almost 1/2 year relation broke... she wanted to gt back in Canada after years and years of traveling!

now i'm wondering how would i need to write about intention to make the family in canada. I entered canada first time less than 1 year ago...and following in love with her while visiting this beautiuful lands of course it's a good reason! Its called beautiful british columbia and want to make our home? but sounds like is not enough

Another idea would be married, Sending outland app and writing that in following months we go traveling europe for 1 year while waiting for decision, so we will be close to office eventually of interview(out. office takes 12months). We would be enable to add proofs without having a permanent residency of both(we will have work exchange like helpx)?
