spousal sponsorship (outland) refused due to proxy marriage

[savaiva]

Canada introduced a new regulation that does not recognize proxy marriage on June 15 2015. Our marriage was before the new regulation. we have a child now whom I also added to the application while it was been processed. After a year and a half, our application was refused because under the new regulation, our marriage is null. We do not qualify as common law partners as we did not live together for a period of 1 year. It was short visits since then. Humanitarian and compassionate grounds was not used and the best interest of a child involved was ignored. I am planning to appeal. did anyone had/heard a similar situation and how did end? what was the time frame to appear before the appeal board after submitting the appeal?
Thank you for responses.

Your marriage may have been before the new rules, but was your application sent before that? If not then your app is correctly refused and no point to appeal. It would be a lot simpler to just get married (non proxy)

Our app was sent after the new regulations. So I think it is a matter of "fact vs law". thank you for your response.

There is no point in appealing. You were correctly refused under the law.

Get married in a legally recognized ceremony and apply again.

Get married in a legally recognized ceremony and apply again.

I think you will find this to be the fastest, cheapest method of sponsoring your wife. Appeals can take well over a year and if you retain a lawyer, it can cost you bags of cash.

Yes, we are all positive it won’t be recognized.

No. We don’t recognize these types of marriages. If one or both parties are not physically present at the ceremony, we won’t recognize the marriage.
