If the decision were negative, it would have gone to decision made.

thanks for your opinion

Guys please help.... What should I say to the VO that will sound more convincing and less confusing

Say exactly what you said here. If the truth doesn't convince them, chances are that lying will be even worse.

I agree with tuyen here - tell your story. Use evidence (e-mails, text messages, phone logs, chat logs, letters from family, friends, etc.) to back up your story.

Thanks Computergeek and Tuyen.

Yes I have included all that information. I think more than anything else I'm staring at my completed application and just freaking out! I keep reading my relationship letter thinking what If the VO doesn't believe my story. What if I could have explained it differently.

The standard of review is "on a balance of probabilities is it more likely than not that this relationship is genuine". From your description it sounds like it is. If the VO thinks it might not be, she or he can schedule an interview. If you are refused you can appeal to the IAD.

My husband and I were in a long distance relationship for over eight years. When my parents finally agreed to let me marry him, I went to UK and got married. I know this sounds like a red flag so my concern is how to explain to the VO that the reason for the short trip is because:

1. my parents did not allow me to stay for too long. It was a condition that I return immediately and apply for him to come here.
2. I had to return to work and only had one week vacation.
3. Most importantly, even if I knew him for 8 years, we would not be living together unless we were married, so I couldn't really travel and live with him unless I was getting married first.

Does this sound like a red flag considering we met after so many years only to end up staying together for 4 days? I don't know how to explain to the VO that we couldn't live together without the bond of marriage and that I wanted to return so I can apply for him right away

I would also explain why on earth he didn't visit you in 8 years and had YOU come to the UK to marry him while you sound like you are a daddy's little girl (and yet you work in a job that only gives you a week vacation) or part of a very religious/strict family (and yet you were 'allowed' to fly across the atlantic to marry a guy you had never met)? Just re-read your explanation and let me know you live in 2012 or just imagine someone else is telling you that story and let me know if it is reasonably believable. Also, it is not like UK citizens cannot easily visit Canada, unless he is not an UK citizen, but if he legally resides in the UK then he should have no problem getting a visitor's visa to Canada. I am not trying to be harsh, but you must realize that CIC will wonder all of that as well... every story is a story until proven fact and every story may have different paths to prove it true.

To me it does sound like at least a dark-orange flag. What will you be submitting as proof of a genuine relationship with your application (e.g. pictures of vacations, story on how you have met, dates when you met your SOs friends and/or relatives)? The questionnaire on it is pretty detailed and I would not suggest making up answers to questions just to make it complete.

@Leon This is such a nice info.

I would like to know though, now that live in caregiver program is under economic class, i heard rumors that caregivers have to wait to get PR before they can sponsor their husband/wife and dependents ? Unlike before that once the principal applicant get his/her PR status, the spouse and dependents would also get their PR status... What is the truth behind this....

No immigration program requires that the principal applicant apply separately from spouse and dependents. In fact, they discourage you from doing so, because they are required to undergo most of the same checks even if they are not applying to immigrate at the same time.

When you apply for your PR, you must include your spouse and dependent children in your PR application. You can choose if you list them as accompanying or not accompanying.

If you choose accompanying, they get PR with you. If you choose not, they will still have to have medicals and background checks but they will not get PR although you will be able to sponsor them later.

If you want your dependents to come and live with you in Canada, you should choose accompanying. There is no advantage for you in sponsoring them later.

Hello,

I had one quick question (maybe a dumb one)

Do we have to send the Document Checklist along with the rest of the forms?

Yes, both the Sponsor Checklist and your County specific checklist. I believe the checklists say on them to complete and include them.
