Hi besykobuset: I probably understood the reason CIC is considering. You probably mentioned that your relationship with your spouse started since 2007 which is even before her PR application as a dependent with her father/family. So CIC considered the factor that your relation (as a gf/bf) started actually before she even became PR. Therefore, your name should have been in her application, NO MATTER, she was dependent in her father's application. Although your relation was not defined before 2009 according to your culture, probably. Humm......I am learning new things every day in this forum. Personally, I don't agree with this notion of undefined relation that was considered in your case. It is dilemma of facts. Very SAD! I feel sorry for you. Wish you good luck though.
