Reasons for refusal/rejection + checking living?

[fuzzfuzz]

Hi everyone!

I was just wondering if any of you could kindly let me know the various reasons someone could get rejected under the spousal sponsorship for permanent residence?

And also, as the regulations have now changed with regards to living with the spouse for 2 years from the date permanent residence is granted, how is it that they check to ensure that the couple is living together? Do they do random checks? Or do they see if the sponsored person's mailing address has been changed to the same address? Or just how do they ensure that? Just curious.

Thanks in advance!

How about..
Ineligible sponsor
Failed medical
Immigration fraud
Criminal history
And that's just for starters.

CIC states the new regulation regarding two year co-habitation will be random checks. They do not give any further information about how the checks will be conducted.

They will probably be concentrating mostly on cases specifically reported to them. So mainly if a couple breaks up within 2 years, the sponsor would contact CIC to tell them and have their ex-partners PR revoked. Also if a couple actually files for divorce and one is a PR, if a couple suddenly files taxes as single instead of married/common-law, or 1 partner changes address information on any government document.... this can all be reported to CIC and they could investigate.

For any other couple that is actually still a genuine couple after the 2 years, there is absolutely nothing to worry about.

If you are a legitimate couple none of this matters really. Why worry?

because crooks are very good at playing the game. Anyone can be 'played'

There are lots of reasons EVERY Canadian should be concerned

The usual reason for rejection is that the visa officer believes the relationship is fake.
There are other reasons: the applicant may be ineligible because of a criminal record; the visa officer may not believe that the couple will be able to support themselves without going on welfare; a medical reason is possible, but a sponsored spouse or partner is 'medically-demand exempt', so even if the applicant has a disease or medical problem, he or she will still be accepted in most cases.
There could also be problems with the sponsor, such as a criminal conviction (depends on the severity), being on welfare or an undischarged bankrupt, living outside of Canada where the visa officer does not believe the sponsor will return.

Thank you all for your replies.

I was just wondering on the likelihood of spousal sponsorship being accepted/rejected, as my fiancee is Canadian but we initially weren't planning on getting married until next year, but due to circumstances we're considering getting married now.

And the question about the "checks" is just pure curiosity as to how it's done. Thankfully we have nothing to hide and we've been together for 3 years now, just trying to figure out the best and quickest and legitimate way to be together in Canada. I'd rather not risk anything by trying to do something illegal or by lying.

Safest and quickest way to go about it is by being Honest. simple.

If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. there is nothing you can do different that will make your process go by any faster or any smoother.
