Spouse Open Work permit

[fkl]

Thanks for reply but my concern is that we both have our names on our passports and that is the extreme form of legal. I submitted an online application and I could only upload one picture of us holding our beloved crest where it says just got married because that is our favorite picture. I just got married last year and I provided two letters, one from her and one from myself just to state that what it means for her to come to Canada. We do not have joint bank account, we did not reside together for more than few months. So yeah, those were the proof that I could come up with.

Long debate isn't useful because you cannot argue with a CIC officer with what's legal versus what's not.

Wedding pics and stuff is only required for a recent marriage or of some one who was already in Canada and then got married back home.

But the CIC requirement is not a legal concern.

Think of it as - what does it take for you to fake a marriage of convenience i.e. you get married on paper with some one with the sole intent of bringing them to Canada (they paid you for that).

So every thing is legal - marriage certificate, passport can be made.

What is RELATIVELY harder is to involve people in this fake event, have tons of pictures / proof of contact / past trips together, wedding reception card / pictures of actual event etc.

True that you can possibly fake some of these. But then again there is no black or white criteria that would apply to every one. So visa officers use these measures to at least make it more difficult to prevent marriage of convenience.

For some one who has been married for a long time (even before applying for Canada) or have kids etc. no such thing is ever required or heard of.

The other day i heard of a case of a person, who was a citizen and was caught sponsoring his second wife as a PR to Canada. He already sponsored his first wife a few years ago. When CIC dug deeper, they found neither was an actual wife, rather both were his sisters .....

And then we wonder why CIC is so weird...

Hope that helps

Thanks for your answer

The problem is, I have thousands of my wedding pictures but when I submitted them online along with my other documents, I could only provide one because it was going over 5 mb. If I do want to provide additional pictures how do I do it? Is it too late now because I have already submitted my paper? What do you recommend?

And also, out of all the pictures I could only upload the one where we were both holding our fav team's jersey and on the back of it said we just got married. I don't know if it was the right or wrong decision I made because that is our most favorite picture. I have other tons of pictures where we are both with lots of relatives and friends. What do I do?

Did you submit the application online? If so send a case specific inquiry and attache additional pics. I would strongly recommend to submit the additional pics of wedding, engagement and casual pics and also pics where you have family and friends as well. Hope this helps.

There are many online apps for compressing the pics. Add all pics in a word and then convert it to a pdf and then compress it. you will get many apps that do this job for you. Hope this helps.

open paint, reduce size to 70%, maybe 50%, (edit option) save. Save all the images at low sizes, then add them to an MS Word or PDF file. attach that. You can use https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=new%20delhi for Delhi specific submissions.
