make an appointment and sponsor needs to sign some forms giving permission to dere MP to access your personal records..some MPs send forms by email and some want person to visit office.

It could be a concern if you end up in having an interview as Indian visa officers who conduct interviews are bit traditional and Neanderthal thinking.... but if you have no choice and have to do court marriage then have your family members and hers be present (if both parents are present then cave dwelling visa officers would not question you). But if you cannot have them then provide plenty of proof that this relationship is genuine by providing lots of proof of communication; photos; trips taken together; testimonials from friends and relatives; convincing reason as to why your family and her family could not participate in court wedding and so on...

Firstly, thank you much for taking your time to respond.

Yes, both our parents will be present for the court marriage. Both families do not want the girl to stay alone after the wedding. I may have to make a return to India for a year or so until the processing is done for her if I cannot process her PR now. I do have communication logs, photos not too many (as I have lived here for 3 years), no trips and definitely some handful of gifts proof available with me. I understand this is tricky, so any more advise or tips you could offer on this will really help.

hi hols do u have any travel history ?if have which country because I am also stuck in background check

Hi yes, my husband lived in Dubai for 9 months and also he has a US visitors visa when he was in Canada - so we went down to the US like 30 or so times to do grocery shopping, get gas, do shopping etc. so it seems to have delayed everything while they check up on that...

I'm from India, I recently became PR under CEC.

My girlfriend lives in India and our marriage will happen next year mid. Meanwhile, I am going to India for our engagement in a month and we are looking to do our court marriage along with the engagement as I can start the PR process for her in parallel. Is it acceptable by CIC and NDVO to sponsor spouse PR with only court marriage certificate (without traditional marriage proof)? I know CIC looks for wedding photographs which I would not be having. Would this be a concern?


Please help

yes its a big concern...but W2E is right. ..collects all proofs...
there is a forum member neha_anticivic..dere also a simple wedding just few people like family members n just close friends. .but they didn't hv an interview. ..dere are just wait for DM. ..

so my suggestion is done a court marriege where all the family members present. ..go for lots of places...send them all the pics...and submit ur file. ..and give them reason like so n so time next year we will b married in a traditional way...
gud luck

it is good both parents (yours and hers) will be there for the court wedding...but NDVO will wonder why you could not have had a simple temple wedding with family present and why court wedding and that too engagement and wedding the same day....and if you plan to leave immediately after marriage then it will raise a red flag with interview recommended....so if you cannot have temple wedding then have a honeymoon and go on a trip and take lots of pictures..if you can stay for three or more weeks this will not raise any suspicion....go back and send in your application, and wait until sponsor's part is approved; come back to india and if you plan to have a regular wedding then, you can send pictures of wedding; second honeymoon etc as additional documents to NDVO..if not traditional wedding atleast you can provide documents to show that you moved back to India to be with her (if you are citizen then they will ask you proof of intention to go back to canada) ...currently it takes 16 months (including sponsor's part of approval) so you have plenty of time to send them updated documents and convince them more...

Thanks again. My intention is not to pretend that we are married and have had our honeymoon, I want to keep it transparent to NDVO that we have done engagement (with photos) and court wedding with parents' permission to submit for sponsorship and my traditional wedding date is so and so and I shall share the photographs during that time if need be. I am not sure if I am making sense. I am certainly not into faking proofs, we are not going on trips but I would stay for a couple of weeks in India after court marriage. I do feel that my case has some genunity that a Visa officer might consider. However, I have no clue if it is certain. Please advise your thoughts.
