I am sponsoring my husband, and after the interview, they refused his visa , saying they are not convinced because I did not go and pay him visit within the last 4 years, but my husband told them I had to take care of my kids from previous marriage, and I had bills, and I was going to school, that we never knew the process will delay till now.
Now , I want to appeal the decision, I have been supporting my husband financially in Africa, buy sending money to him, can I put those receipts among proofs? Or is it bad for a wife to support her husband financially during this process?

So you are PR/citizen and your are sponsoring him? How much time have you spent with him during your marriage if you haven’t visited him in 4 years?

So when did you get married if you left in September 2020? How did you meet? When did you apply for spousal sponsorship? Timelines are important since IRCC doesn’t believe that your marriage is genuine. May want to retain an immigration lawyer for next steps.

There is nothing wrong with you supporting him financially. You can certainly try to appeal. Your case is challenging since you haven't seen him in 4 years.

What type of marriage do you have? Did you marry in Canada or in his country? If in his country, did you register the marriage in Canada? IRCC may have concerns there.
Sorry but I'm seeing a few red flags here, on his side, particularly as you are supporting him financially. Speaking as a woman who has a lot of knowledge of men in third world countries who only marry women in Western countries to get visas.

Am sad but optimistic

brief history of my case
Married an American before and divorced her after 4 years
Seeked refugee status in USA and was denied
Now married to a Canadian two years now.
She has visited 4 times and last time spend 5 months

but our application got rejected. They asked for an Interview in the Ghana embassy after which the letter said it she believes it was entered for immigration purpose and given us 30 days to apeal . Any suggestions?
