hi,i wanted to ask few questions regarding my spousal visa. im a Pakistani girl being sponsored by my husband(who is Canadian citizen). my husband is also my first cousin and they went to Canada 15 years ago when i was really young so never met him in real and never talked much as our parents were only n contact, until his mother gave me proposal for him and we started to talk over whats app, fb and skype (but those proof somehow got deleted ) there was no engagement as in these 15 years he never visited Pakistan ) and after proposal by his mother within 4 months we went on trv visa to canada this june 2015 then in aug 2015 we got nikkah done in Canada in mosque and gave a party for nikah.at community center the same night.(we had no ruksati) and i came back within a month back to Pakistan.
my problem is I don't have nikanama as it happened in Canada so its only copy is being given even though I have a legal marriage certificate from a department of Canada but not nikanama the mosque gives copy what should I do?
As my event happened can I call the event at night as a reception or will it be wrong as it was a party after having nikah in mosque at afternoon
We were thinking writing reception is better as mybe we won't even do reception and I can directly go n start living WD my husband as visa comes so what should I do?
(1)as he is a cousin i never collected such proofs and after nikah with him ive have only 4 months recent chat logs on just whatsapp as thats only where we talk ,
ive pictures with him at few places as i went only for a month
.ive nikah pics inside mosque and the event at night where approx 70 people participated.
so what should i do with providing proof that marriage is genuine?
we have planned ruksati after geting visa so i complete my studies till then
and (2)
People say you don't have to make new shanakti card or it will take more time ? I ve done my upfront in Feb n I'll suit my application in June I guess so can it be a problem as I've wasted 7 months from marriages already ..
(3) in imm 5490
Question says when you first met your sponsor in person ? and when you first contacted your sponsor? It allows only dates no answer so what should I write?
what date should i give as i saw (met) him when i was 7 or should i give date when i met now in 2015 before nikah?
As marriage was arranged by my aunt what should I choose arranged marriage? By individual ? When n where was marriage arranged? What does this means bcz she came to house for proposal n then marriage preparations were done on calls ?
Should I tell CIC tht I was in contact WD my sponsor way before proposal as we knew n talked sometimes in tht period of 14 years ? But I've no proofs
(4) do i have to fill supplementary or my sponsir living in Canada has to fill it also residency forms ? as i m a Pakistani national n he was too before he went noelw he's Canadian citizen
Can we send attested from notary documents
thank you in advance its too much that ive asked bu im really confused
It looks like yours was an arranged marriage.
Carefully answer the questions in the forms, be specific and answer the actual question rather than unrelated answers or stories.
The guide is available to help fill the forms on CIC website, read it to understand fully. (both of you should do so)
I suggest you and your sponsor discuss the forms, etc in detail and carefully formulate the answers.
Make sure the dates are correct and correspond to the documents.
Get your NADRA ID Card changed to reflect "husband's name" rather than father's name (in Pakistan). If you change last name to husband's name then get new ID to show that as well and perhaps a new passport. (you can skip this if u want, but get the ID Card changed to show husbands name).
Check CIC website for help with the forms, they have guides to filling forms. There are also videos on youtube, etc for help from people.
