Sponsrship

Convicted before a trial, forget the red flags. I don't recall anything in the CIC guidelines about the application being refused if there is a significant age gap and I don't remember this individual asking for sarcasm. She asked a question and got a couple of real good answers at the start. I am certain that this family is aware of what they are up against, it is not rocket science but to those of you that are heartless, give it a rest.

Yes Saint4 Peace I am going to live with him for the rest of my life and visa versa. We took a vow remember? Better/worst. Any way in reply to other comments we have his airline pass and stamps in his passport to show he visited me at least 7 times. He put my name on his insurance in case something happen to him I am taken care of, we send a copy of that also. He knew my mom before I was born , we wrote a letter about that. What we do not have is photos with us since 2009-11. We wrote a letter explaining our age differences How we communicate and why I have not visited him and our future plans. We know that their are red flags but it does not me I will be refused. Believe it or not their are lots of women and men who have had a huge gap in age and are in Canada now! Thanks!

HI dont worry you be fine. My husband is 56 years old and Im 29 if your genuine and love each other. You will never get scared having intervies. Pray and good luck for both of US

Fefe: Are you sure you got your husband on your board from your 100% cool mind? 29 years of age difference! hah? I am gonna lose my soul now! If I were in your shoes, I would put both of you in an envelop and send it to CIC. Otherwise, I don't see any hope. Again, are you really gonna live with him rest of his or your life to each other ?

Hello Dont get me wrong. My situation is almost as Fefe. My husband is 56 yrs old and im 29.
We have 27 years age gap. I dont see any hindrance in a relationship as long as you love each other.
I beleive that if your both have reil relationship theres nothing to get scared off..

But I understand to people think and look for age gap too.. good luck for me and Fefe

I am Jamaican, 22 years old and my husband is Canadian 51 years. We got married July 2012 and we just submitted our Sponsorship application for my PR. I am worried as in 2009 I was denied a work permit to Canada and in March 2012 I was denied a TRV to visit him. Will this affect my application and make the process slower

Yes. Any failed attempts to enter Canada (or any other 'Western' country) is a red flag. The more there are, the worse. However, this does not mean you will be refused; it just means you will need more evidence your relationship is genuine.
Also: your previous applications are on file, but this does not mean the visa officer will look at them in any detail. So if you did not make clear in the PR application that the TRV was to visit your husband, gather that proof now and be prepared to show it at the interview. When I ordered my and my husband's FOSS and CAIPS notes, there was a transcript there of the interview he had with the visa officer when he applied for a TRV where he referred to me as his girlfriend. We also found a copy of the TRV application form, again where he said he was going to visit me. The visa officer processing his PR application was completely unaware of these documents (not that I blame her - there were hundreds of pages), but it does make a difference in how the vo views the previous TRV applications.

and how do i proved our relationship genuine? We have photos, letter from family and friends, tuns of emails conversations and skype, money transactions, wedding photos with family and friends. Is that enough?

It might be. You will also need more proof because of the age difference, but with the man being the older one, actually the age difference is not as big an issue as it would have been if you had been the older one. Make sure you are clear that you discussed the age difference and both do not care about it. You should also have discussed children and come to some agreement about the issue.
Expect an interview. Keep gathering proof of your communication since after the application was sent in. You can take it to the interview.
At the interview, you must be able to answer questions about your husband. Make sure you know all about his lfe in Canada: his work, his hobbies, his friends, his family, his past - including any previous marriages or relationships and why they ended.

Tuyen. Like I said it was 2009 I tried for a work permit I was 19 years old and my husband did not have intimate relationship until after that. And we barely knew each other then so why would you even think that was an option? The TRV was when he wanted to see how i like Canada and if we could live with each other full-time before he pop the question and that was 3 years after the work permit 2012. So with such a time do I really looked desperate? Also the work permit was my family attempt to get me to Canada, I was a child then. Plus do you not think he it was fair for him to wait til I was 22 when I was old enough to yes to marriage and meant it? Why would you even say such a thing? I think we will be ok in the end. I be sure to keep updating the immigration process as time goes by. In everything there are the exceptions I might just be one them.

Fefe: I did not mean to hurt you really. However, I am still not convinced of marriage of any kind with this age difference. I am just different in my mind. I still wish you all the best.

You are not alone. I am 23 and couldn't imagine marrying someone old enough to be my father.

Fefe, I think you'd do better to pay attention only to the people here who would actually like to help.

Pierre Trudeau, the prime minister of Canada, married Margaret Sinclair in 1971, while he was in office. And do you know how old they were? He was 51 and she was 22.

Canadianwoman had some excellent advice. You can request GCMS/CAIPS notes to see what's on file about the current application but also previous ones.

My aunt in USA has 29 yrs gap also and she been with her husband now 4 almost 10 years, it very much can work and her friends and people she knows been broken up and divorce and remarried many times. Life is funny sometimes. Thank you and sorry about your divorce We love each other very much and regardless of the out come with immigration it will be death do us part. If I cannot go to him, he will come to me.

 

[canadianwoman]

Also the work permit was my family attempt to get me to Canada, I was a child then.

This is a red flag. The visa officers look to see if there is some reason other than wanting to be with their Canadian partner for a person to try to immigrate, and having a lot of family in Canada is considered a 'pull factor'.
You seem to have a lot of evidence your relationship is genuine, so it should be OK, but at the interview stress how much you love your husband; don't volunteer anything about the work permit. Tell the truth if the visa officer asks about it at the interview, of course.

Keep gathering evidence your relationship is genuine, and I would really advise your husband to come visit you as often as possible.

If you haven't notice your the minority! you are who you are and entitle to your opinion! WE DO'T HAVE TO SEE EYE TO EYE ON EVERYTHING! Relationship success does not depend on people seeing things the same way. Respect for the other person's perspective is far more important than constant agreement! Everywhere around us there are average people. They entice you into being more like them by offering their acceptance and by leading you to believe that everyone else is more like them than you are. the 'average-person sales pitch' leaves out that you will be sacrificing your goals, sacrificing your individuality and unique ideas-leading a life that is not so much yours as it is determined by a preferences of your group. I am a leader you are the AVERAGE! I do not care what society thinks ans what they think should be. It is my life and I live it how I choose. MY HUSBAND IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY. HE IS MY DREAM MAN, HANDSOME SUCCESSFUL, KIND, GOOD MORALS, HONEST, LISTEN ATTENTIVELY, TREATS ME LIKE MY *censored word* COULD MAKE A BURGER!! WHICH SAYS A LOT . HE IS LOVING, HE COOKS, HE CLEANS HE IS DOES EVERY FREAKING THING. THAT MAN IS A DARN ANGEL, so don't worry you didnt hurt my feeling and no offense was taken! HAHAHA I just couldnt believe people say those things 2 put persons down especially when it is already hard 4 them, thats all!!! now you mention you 23 I see why you speak the way you do. In time you will grow up and be in the real modern world where Blackmen are been president and 51 year men are with 22 year women hahaha!! been sarcastic
