You know, if I were you, I would strongly consider just going to Sri Lanka for two years and not worry about appealing. It'll make your application stronger the second time, and then when you do apply, don't forget to include this current refusal with the earlier one. I know that kind of travel isn't always possible, but you can live VERY cheaply in that part of the world if you don't require Western food. It might put some stress on your marriage -- your husband might have been counting on fitting in to your culture, not having to introduce you to his -- but it could also be really good if things work out. While you're there, you could perhaps arrange for your daughter to acquire citizenship.

Or, you might be from there yourself, I don't know. Anyway, good luck, things sometimes turn out better than we think.

Living in Sri Lanka shouldn't be a problem for you if you chose to marry your Sri Lankan husband. If your marriage is truly genuine, you chose to marry each other because you want to be with each other physically, not for one spouse to gain status to live in another country. You should be able to say, "I can live in either Canada or Sri Lanka, because I love my husband, and I only want to be with him", rather than "I only want us to live in Canada, I don't want to live in Sri Lanka, because it's so poor, no jobs, etc". Have you ever asked yourself, if you could look in a crystal ball and see he can never come to Canada, would you have chosen to marry him?

You also need to remember, one of the most common questions during an interview is, "If they refuse your application, what will you do?". If you say, I will never live in Sri Lanka, they will flatly deny you because they think you focus all your plans around living in Canada, and made no plans for alternative living plans should the application fail. If living in Canada is really so important to you, then you shouldn't have married someone from another country if there is even a possibility of him being rejected.

I wish you best of luck.

I think there are plenty of reasons why living in Sri Lanka could be a problem for her -- she'll know how to negotiate her problems better than either of us, I'm sure.

What I meant is that even if you try to appeal again, it will most definitely get refused again. Have you found another lawyer??

What do you mean? If we lose the appeal that means he can never apply for PR again???

You have obviously never been to sri lanka. Please do not put words in my mouth and don't assume you know ANYTHING about my situation. My father sponsored us to Canada when I was 9 years old because he wanted us to have a better life than the one we would have had in sri lanka. I have lived in Canada for 15 years and it is my home now. One that I want to share with my husband. Its not about gaining "status" in another country, its about offering my child a better quality of life and oppertunities.

Its just too darn bad that I don't have crystal ball ::)

Yes my husband lived in the UK for 5 years with a student visa and that was all in the application.

Yes i submitted My UK police clearance with my Application that clearly shows everything including my caution.. tats y im confused and frustated why they hav rejected only for saying "No" instead of "Yes"... that is a mistake..i didnt do it purposly....... i didnt know that i hav to put yes bevcasue in the application they askd only for "do i hav any criminal conviction?" what i hav to say? is yes or no? because they didnt say about warning or caution...

This is absolutly crazy bastards...they are playing with my life..

Appeals take a long time - a two-year wait in Toronto is normal. I would just wait out the two-year ban for misrepresentation, then reapply. This would probably be faster than appealing, even if you win.

Well, if you have already filed an appeal and waited this long, you might as well try. I'll see if I can find an appeal like yours that won.
