What are some of the reasons that Inland Applications are Rejected?

[johnp]

For example, if someone comes to Canada on a Study Visa and get's married, will they reject the inland application on the grounds that the person came into the country Intending to get married?

What are some other reasons?

The most common cause of refusal both for inland and outland is because they don't believe that the relationship is real. Other reasons for refusal might include problems with sponsor, being bankrupt, on social assistance etc. or problems with the sponsored, criminal background etc.

Her intent was to study correct not get married?But if her intent was to use the study visa to get in just to marry???but if your relationship is true then it houldnt get rejected unless yu dont meet the requirements or there are legal issues explained above in the last post.

my brother is in the same position...his gf is planning to come to canada on a visitor visa but obviously on the visa we cannot state that they are dating...

they are not married or never been in a common-law relationship...

but when she gets here, they do plan to marry....

Still not sure which way to go...

We were going to apply outland but if they marry outside Canada, none of our family members can attend the wedding which is questioned in the application...

This is a very good question. The system is full of loopholes. The Immigration officres do their best, of course, but too many genuine people pay heavy price and get rejected.
I know this true story: a person (man) lived in USA without legal status. How did he go there? I am not sure. Did he go with false documents or did he go with a visit visa? we don't know. but he eventually ended being illegal there. He contacted a Cnd PR online for marriage. She, herself was sponsored by a Cnd husband 3 years ago. She stayed with the Cnd husband only for a year and then separated and divorced. She came to Canada with a 9 y daughter from a previous marriage. The man (who was illegal in US) appeared in Canada all of sudden and married to the woman (PR in Canada) instantly. She got pregnant too, within a month or two from the marriage date. There was no doubt he planned this in order to gain a Cnd residence. How did he arrive to Canada? did he sneak from the border? did he claim refugee at the border,? we don't really know?
So do you think this can be a successful family sponsorship case, giving the fact that he is married and having a child from this marriage?

a child really is not a proof of true marriage in immigration officers' eyes.

i was reading somewhere that couples who have big age difference, different religions or nationalities might be a subject of doubt. also if one of the couple barely speaks english. immigration would think - how do they communicate?

also i heard that sometimes true couples being rejected, and false couples being admitted. so really system has some holes. u need some luck too.

A child is not always seen as proof of a true relationship. A real couple on this forum told the story of having been denied PR during an interview even though the woman was pregnant. The visa officer told the man, it might not be yours.

But when the child is born, and the man (sponsored) is already in Canada, it would be extremely difficult for CIC to remove and deport

I think if they don't believe the relationship, they would still deny his application and try to deport him. He can appeal under H&C reasons and might be allowed to stay but it may take forever to process.

Inland applications are refused for the same reasons outland aps are refused: most common is when they don't think the relationship is genuine and suspect that the applicant only married (or entered into a c/l relationship) in order to be able to be sponsored to immigrate. The other issue is criminal inadmissibility - even a DUI can make someone inadmissible for a period in excess of 6-7 years after the offence occurred - depending on the sentence. Those are the most common reasons - for both inland and outland refusals.
