@ Maplegal86 I understand your frustration and duly sympathize with your situation. My comments were just my inferences and it looks like you took offence of it. I know I need to be careful with the choice of my words since tempers are running really high in this forum. My intention was to just give an idea of what I perceived the process that too with a due disclaimer. I personally am a Lawyer but I don't practice immigration Law nor I give any advise in that regard (I think I should have sticked to that !!). But anyways, my further comments in this forum would do more damage than any positive effect, so I retire peacefully !! As regarding you graduating from a Top U.S school or coming from a well-off family is not a supporting factor to the process except when you apply for a Student visa to Canada or a visit visa where you show them the proof that you will return to your home country after your studies/visit and wont illegally stay back, citing your "well-offness". As far as I understand there is a totally different criteria when assessing for Spousal immigration - like likelihood of the spouses calling Canada a home (and raising a family and contributing for the Canadian economy) and wont just stay in Canada for 3 years, get the passport and jump ship (like a big chunk of immigrants from Middle East) or use Canada as a safe second country of citizenship/residence (which a lot of Indians are doing now most of them going back to where they were working before like Dubai, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, also a lot of Wealthy Indians do that too, also may be you should google Chinese Birthing tourists). If you want to know more about such instances just go the CBC website and search. And about the U.S schooling, my Ex. who was also an Indian, who I dated for about 6 years before I met my wife..was doing her Ph.D. at Yale, on a 100 % scholarship, when she was declined a Canadian visit visa, citing lack of 'ties' with her country of then residence, U.S (of course it was a visit visa). But having said that I wish you and everyone else, good luck and hope all of you get your approvals at the earliest.
