Outland Denial

[quebec23]

Quick question guys!

What are usually the reasons for instant denial when you're applying outland?
I would guess medical reasons, am I right?

Cause if they think your relationship is fake, then they'd call you to an interview instead of denying, or no?

I think criminal inadmissibility is one too. I believe when it comes to the relationship, they will always do an interview before a denial.

Sponsor or applicant denial?

You could get a denial without an interview for misrepresentation - also if the sponsor doesn't qualify to sponsor.

There's not really an "instant" denial; it will still take a lot of months for the app to be reviewed and then denied .

Main reason is that CIC determines the relationship isn't genuine. They do call interviews first to clear up any doubts about the relationship. But if you have a look at the appeals thread, quite a lot of them did have interviews and the officer didn't believe them and denied the visa.

Being denied for a medical reason is incredibly rare, as the excessive demand rule is not applied for spousal sponsorship. I believe they can only deny on medical grounds if the applicant has a highly contagious serious disease that would be a danger to the public. So it's rare

As someone else said, criminal inadmissibility as well.

If the sponsor cannot prove intent to return to Canada, is on welfare or is still subject to a previous sponsorship undertaking, then the app will be refused at stage 1.

As far as I know there is nothing medically that will cause a spouse to be denied. Unless they have a communicable disease such as TB. Even then they are requested to do follow Dr treatment and will eventually be allow to enter. There must be another reason such a above mentioned criminality.

They may also deny an application early if the visa officer determines the principal applicant does not qualify as a member of the family class (e.g. marriage not legally recognized, married to someone else and not common law, etc.). I was reading about this situation on CanLii but I can't remember if this type of refusal happens before or after an interview.

Yeah, I didn't think of that one. I guess whether the refusal comes before or after the interview would depend on the circumstances. If one spouse was previously married and they don't provide a divorce certificate when requested by CIC, then there would prob be no interview, just a denial.

My question was regarding the step 2 actually. I've read some people saying that they had it denied without an interview and I was kind of shocked.
I thought that an interview was always made in these cases.

I guess it really is up to the person reviewing the case whether to have an interview or not.

The only reasons I can think of for denying an app without an interview are criminal inadmissibility and misrepresentation. Those 2 would be automatic denials, and misrepresentation can lead to a temporary ban from Canada as well.

When it comes to doubting the relationship, I do think they pretty much always offer an interview. If the VO denies a couple and the couple appeals, the lack of an interview probably wouldn't look good for CIC. But if the VO decides beyond all shadow of a doubt (in their mind) from the proof submitted in the app and their investigations that there is no way the relationship is genuine, then I suppose they don't really have to have an interview.

Misrepresentation is when you omit or misrepresent a relevant fact if your application. For example, you say you have only been married once when you have actually been married twice.
