Student visa rejected. How long would you wait to get married ?

[doorsopen]

Hi

My longterm girlfriend from Brazil recently had her student visa for Canada rejected. We've talked about marriage for a long time and now we are finally going to do it! We've done the research into what is required - and it is not easy, but we know what we need to do.

I am concerned though, that if we get married too quickly after the student visa rejection, that Canada will simply see this marriage as a "marriage of convenience".

How long should we wait until we get married?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think it really matters as you could've had it planned all along.  Not to mention, you have been talking about it for a long time now.  As long as your relationship is genuine and you can prove that it's genuine I don't see there being a problem.  It might create a bit of a red flag, but after you show the officers pictures, phone records, facebook posts, chat logs etc etc over the months/years then I'm sure it'll be okay. 

Goodluck!
