This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada as a member of the Family
Class.
I have reviewed your application and all of the documents you submitted in support of it. It appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of the Act.
I have determined that you may not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act because you are a person described in paragraph R4 of the Act. You may therefore be inadmissible to Canada.
R4. (1) For the purposes of these Regulations, a foreign national shall not be considered a spouse, a common-law partner or a conjugal partner of a person if the marriage, common-law partnership or conjugal partnership
(a) was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Act;
or
(b) is not genuine.
It appears from your application that you did not celebrate the Ruhksati after your marriage. I note that your sponsor remained in Pakistan for 3 months after your wedding. You have not submitted an explanation for why you have not celebrated the Rukhsati. It appears that you have not followed the cultural norm in traditional Pakistan weddings of celebrating the Ruhksati straight away or soon after the wedding celebrations. I note that a year has now passed since your marriage and you have not submitted any evidence to demonstrate that you have
celebrated the Rukhsati since your application. Given the above, I have concerns regarding the bona fides of your relationship.
I also note that your marriage was not arranged, as is the custom in Pakistan, but that you have indicated that you met your sponsor at university and fell in love. However, you have not given an explanation for the development of your relationship, or indicated whether your family,
friends and the community at large have accepted your relationship, given the apparent deviation from the cultural norm. This adds to my concerns regarding the bona fides of your
relationship.
Please use this opportunity to address my concerns and indicate any further information you would like to be considered in respect of your application.
I would like to provide you with the opportunity to respond to this information. You will have 30 days from the date of this letter to make any representations in this regard. Please respond using the address at the top of this letter and clearly indicate your file number for all correspondence you send to the High Commission of Canada, London, UK.
If you do not respond to this request within 30 days, your application will be assessed based on the information currently on file and may result in the refusal of your application.
Sincerely, Immigration Officer
