check these comments out in my notes.

"PA and Sponsor organized Vallima in March 2016/April 2016 PA has provided numerous additional photos which do certainly appear culturally consistent and show that a Rukhsati and Vallima did take Place. However, despite this, there remain some concerns and so an interview is to be convoked."

I don't know what's wrong and what I should be preparing for know...... :-\
Check the photos/docs that u submitted, see if there is anything about the photos which would be unusual.
Perhaps wearing same clothes in both ceremonies? OR at same place, or etc?
Check documentation to see if there is anything missing or not looking right in what u had submitted. Hopefully u have a copy of everything u gave them.
It seems Valima is their primary concern and rukhsati is secondary. Was this a quick-ceremony type thing or was planned months in advance?

It was planned in advance and the venue, dressing is different in every single event.
I will go through the documents again just to make sure everything is ok.

1. Did your Nikkah, Barat and Valima happened within close days? Or did they happen after a while like 2-3 months apart.

2. Were all these ceremony in a commercial hall or a residence?

Yeah I guess there concern is why you applied a year after Nikkah and Rukhsati in 2015. I see you filed your application in Dec 2016.

Not being too personal, but do you have any kids?. It seems like applicants with kids are being put into interview even though there marriage looks all good. :'( :'(

I filled the application in Dec 2015 right after Nikkah and told them of our plan abt Rukhsati and Valima and no I don't have any kids.

Yes ur right sorry about that. :D. Can you think of anything else of concern?. Your notes say they are satisfied with rukhsati and valima, so with no kidz I don't see why an interview. ::)

Visit visa refusal doesnt harm your spousal sponsorship application however if u are approved visit visa then you must not overstay in Canada. The following thread is helpful.
