Ive got a question; What would be the definition of the perfect straightforward Family Class Application, and also the opposite, a complicated application?

There is no such thing as perfect straight forward application or a complicated application....

There are straight forward Visa officers and then there are complicated visa officers...LOL..

;D

Every correct application is perfect application.

Make sure that you fill the forms correctly without any missing information. Also make sure that you include enough supporting documents with your application.

Do not exaggerade. Just do everything in a normal and correct way.

Good luck!

lol ... thats so true

for spousal applciations, definition of perfect application is
- when husband and wife are married first time (no divorce ...)
- both does not have any negative travel history (visa denial etc)
- all documents are submitted before hand - Police clearence, medical, ID proof, wedding Photos, marriage certificate etc
- all documents are notarized or true copy

thats i guess the definition of perfect application :D

I agree with what the others posted.

To have a perfect application, you'd need to make sure that everything has been completed as per CICs instructions. Just ask ThunderSoul...

I'd just like to add that having kids together makes the case even stronger, though there is still a chance of denial, even if very remote. Also, if this is your first marriage, even better. No major travel history, bonus. Lots of pictures and other proof, what they need to see.

Good luck!

but what if you realize you dont like your spouse? (sorry just trolling, hehe)

basically what people above here said... stay true to the events, dont lie on the forms or make up info... and a perfect application is one that gets done in well within the time... which is a rarity in these lands... :(

A "perfect" visa officer is something along the lines of being lineant.

A "complicated" visa officer is someone that is thoroughly anal and asks you for things that are unnecessary such as the word "NONE" when it is not required by any document. Other officers would, of course, not cause any issue. But like I said, the douche baggy officers would even ask you perhaps to describe how many hair follicles you have around your pubic hair.

There is always the tall giraffes that think they're better than everyone and wanna make your life more complicated out of sheer jealousy you're married and they're probably still fighting hard to find someone suited for them but they can't cuz they're too picky and repulsive and have attitude problems.

A complicated app would be, 1 week whirlwind romance to marry after trip to 3rd world country, marriage unrecognized by both parents, 2 previous visa denials, oh and several outstanding charges for Human Trafficking. :eek: :p

Better not to think of any applications now. We did ours and have to wait. I think it is my last time I did such thing. Have been through it twice. This time is the hardest as its my wife and its 14 hours flight separating us. Its not just a drive over a border. I am surprised how little Canadians know about their immigration process. I get daily the question, is she there yet? Or if there is any Asian looking woman in a few feet surrounding area they ask is that her? ???

I immigrated from the US, and no-one here understood it either. People always assumed that it would be quick to visit--but I was in Atlanta and he was in Edmonton!
Also, I had this conversation with my grandmother (she's not American or Canadian) after trying to explain immigration:
:) But we have to go through immigration before we can live together.
:eek: But you're American!
:) Yes.
:eek: But he's Canadian!
:) That's the problem.
:eek: But you're American!
:) <sigh> ...

Editing to add: my grandmother wanted us to get the marriage annulled, wait until the paperwork went through, and then get married again. Because "How can you be married and living that far apart?"

Hahaha that made me laugh out loud.

Immigration is a mystery too many.

I completely agree about Canadians not knowing much about the immigration process, but I can't judge because up until a yr ago, I was blisfully ignorant too :) I mean, you don't go memorizing quantum physics principles for fun right? Immigration is about the same, strictly on a need-to-know basis
