Spousal Sponsorship - Help

[Dude29]

Hi,

Me and my fiance are planning to get married in Jan and will be submitting her application in March once I am back in Canada after marriage and honeymoon.

I have looked at all the forms that needs to be submitted and have started filling them out already.

I have a concern though, my fiance had applied for TRV but it got rejected on the grounds of purpose of visit, family ties in Canada and country of residence, travel history. Also, when she applied for her TRV, she did not mention anything about me as we were not engaged but in talks of marriage later. It was her relatives who invited her to come to visit during the Christmas Holidays.

Will her TRV rejection have any effect on spousal sponsorship?

Thanks.

How long ago did she apply for TRV?

It should not affect her application unless it looks like she was not truthful in her TRV application, or that the marriage and relationship are not genuine. You'll have to demonstrate and document the relationship as much as possible.

Oh and make sure to declare her previous TRV rejection. Not disclosing that would be grounds for rejection.

She applied at the end of November this year but we have been talking since June. She was truthful on her application, we were not married so she mentioned herself as single.

Our relationship is as genuine as they come. The question I have is should we be showing proof that we were talking to each other before she applied her TRV or does not matter?

And yes we are going to mention the TRV rejection on the application.

No - this won't be an issue. Just make sure you declare this refusal in her sponsorship application.

Have you met in person?

Yup we met in June itself. We wanted to see each other before we started becoming serious about each other.

We met several times during that visit and we hit it off pretty good.

Thanks. Yes, we are going to declare the refusal in "Schedule A - Backgroud/Declaration" form. They are asking to provide details about the refusal in the form. What should we be exactly mentioning?

Also, just concerned if we should be showing proof that we have been talking to each other before she applied her TRV?

Thanks everyone for your help
