MARRIAGE BEFORE PPR/IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECEIVING PPR!!PLS READ AND LETS DISCUSS

How do you then show the realness of the marriage?

By marrying after 6-8 months of landing & then move the bride's FC apps, which'd usually be by 8-10 months of landing.

In this case he would have settled down in canada, probably fetched a job, had some banked funds... & then proceeded out-of-country to solemnize the wedding.

Upon his return he'd also have enough documentary proof (dated) of the said marriage. The system would view it as a "perfect wedding" - typically a well organized/planned one... Not a "fly-by-night" one.

But, marrying & continue to move the case file as a singular applicant (do the meds, get the PPR & send the lone pp for stamping) - is a big no, no.

Even if you do not decide to marry until after landing.
I am sure i have read posts of people who applied for their spouse less than 6 months after landing and it is success story. I think there is also a level of individuality on each case as not two cases are 100% the same.

Yes, as I stated before: Situations could be such that the guy lands & imdtly his parents call him over for a proposal. But, the western world would view it as dubious - and it'd be tough to prove otherwise.

Besides, even if one does prove the genuineness of this marriage (with any & many supporting docs), it'd yet take additional time to fetch the approval.

Refering to the second to the last paragraph of medical letter,it says SHOULD YOUR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCE LIKE ADDRESS,MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, BIRTH ,DEATH AND ADOPTION CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME YOU LEAVE FOR CANADA, YOU MUST REPORT THE CHANGES TO US. VISAS ISSUED WITHOUT THE CORRECT INFORMATION CONCERNING FAMILY STATUS ARE INVALID AND ADMISSION TO CANADA WILL BE REFUSED. The above clearly shows that they know circumstances can change after landing provided it is well proven. This implies that marriage can even be few months after landing not necessarily several months.

But the key point is that you have to report the changes (and a wise move would be to keep some sort of proof).

Like Qorax said, getting married just after landing is perceived as dubious.

If you have a relationship before or during the PR process notify CIC, because if you inform CIC then getting married just after you land would not be a problem.
If you don't tell CIC at all, and get married within a few months of landing they are very, very likely to refuse the partner.
That is why Qorax suggests several months.

I would think there are some applicants who are in relationships (not marriage) during their application process and of course apply as single (not married). They may then decide to get married soon after landing. I'm sure if the pr submits a spousal sponsorship along with proof of how long the relationship prior to marriage was (letters, pictures with dates, emails etc) then CIC will understand that the relationship is a valid one and has been going on for some time, and led ultimately to marriage. The thing to prove really is that the marriage and relationship are genuine, and that the marriage is not for immigration purposes.

 @  baloo, are you suggesting that you inform CIC about being in a relationship as in dating someone?

[Baloo]

Maybe, if you know are going to get married it might be a good idea. It has to be better than getting a refusal.

[fernendez]

Baloo, is there any provision on the CHC website that talks about notifying them if one is in a relationship?
