rasu, Shiny,

TEXT:MARRIGE WAS ATTEMPT TO GET STATUS FOR PA IVQ.

this will be the hardest part to make VO believe that it was a genuine marriage.
when they get suspicious about something the only way to get out is you gotta have the support of your luck. they will ask tricky questions and trust me it is really hard to know every bits and pieces of a newly married hubby/wife. however, VO would ask all the questions in a fashion that husband/wife did know everything about each other and hence they must answer accordingly to any question regarding their times they spent together. even the couple who spent 20 years together have many secrets.

Yah, your wife/husband will be given the chance to avail an interpreter but that too would be a minus point for him as the VO would think that this person would be in problem for language barriers once he/she would be in Canada.

Isnt this usual for CIC to think that usually guys are more crazier for their partners and they are the ones who make bulk of the calls or stay as the lead in making 1st hand communication?
Shiny, which Airlines are you choosing to fly?



Amy612,

That is the right address. Don't worry. only writing CANADIAN HIGH COMMISSION in Singapore is enough for any letter to reach in the CAN High Comm. DHL, FedEx, TNT , all are good.

Forget about immigration go to Bangladesh and i am sure will feel relax and off tension. And you will not have time to check your application status. First few days after i came back from Bangladesh, all the day i feel so sad, i missed so much .

What did you include when you submitted your supporting documents? Didn't you do honeymoon? If had no time at least you can submit some alone picture to know that from honeymoon picture.

For interview you can keep some screen short from skype chat , sure it may help at the interview.
Welcome back.

Hope You had a nice trip.

how was the landing experience?
Any advice?

Language barrier=its not because two people dont communicate in english/french they do communicate in their native language so what?my mom is in Canada for over 19yrs, and know no english nor french, and guess what,my father sponsored her.

Maybe for Skilled worker or student visa, THAT WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT,but that is it.

you are right Shiny. There will be no problem for you. If you can not speak bengali, then it would be a problem. Anyways don't worry too much about this. Inshallah you will be fine. VO are doing their job for many years. So they are experienced on relationship. I think they can judge true relationship after doing interview.

Hi Shiny,

they will never take 24 months, that is the tentative/rough date before which they will have to

reach a decision on your file. my friend who is a consultant has been watching this 24 months

waiting time that they write in many of his client's interview letters. CIC has been doing this

for over 3-4 years now. CHC Buffalo conducts the interview in 4-6 months upon the interview

notification letter. We have a member in this forum named arlnr, he received the interview letter

and after around one year he had his interview taken in CHC Dhaka. what OP2 says is the general

and static stuffs and they dont make regular changes in it. CHC Dhaka not only conducts interview

for FAM class, but also Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Parents visa, Visitor visa, Student visa

applicants 2 times a year from November-December for Spring and July-August for Fall. be informed

that CHC SIngapore stays busy like nothing else on these months for checking medical reports,

stamping visas on passports of the successfull student visa seekers. They work in a clumsy way

throughout December due to the runup towards Xmas. it's an usual matter for FAM visa applicants

to be called for an interview though the call comes like a thunder to many. I am not sure if the

tatto thing will help or make an adverse effect on the mind of the VO but I will surely be

looking forward to know how the officer took it. there is every reason to be panicked about an

interview but its more uncertainty than fear.

The bottom line is I can guaratee you two things that would bring a DEFINITE rejection:

1. if you present anything false or they think as false although it is genuine to you.
2. if you make the conversation gibberish or fall into the act of tautology from nervousness.

Remember, it will be an interview of psychological testification of you as well.
I think you are correct. I did not want to believe it myself. There was good evidence that 24 months time until interview was some form of discouragement set up by the government. I don't think it discourages anything but sure raises the stress level for those who have genuine marriages. The OP2 is still valuable especially to understand the criteria they use during the interview. How they determine if a marriage is genuine etc. Everything makes a lot of sense so I do not know how it would change. Maybe their interview techniques changed but they still try to determine if it is marriage of convenience or dissolution of convenience.

Either way you can do some of the things they look for to improve your case. Now that I know what they accept I can do more and my wife can present the evidence at the interview if they ask. I did not want to send emails. I felt this was private but now I will send the record of sent and received email only. Little things make the difference.

Shiny88,

these days this has turned out to be more like a lottery.
VO's will surely judge your hubby if he is capable of blending himself with the Canadian life/society/job. and on the way of doing that, officer will judge his English Quality which they wouldnt do but with the increasing number of people with no or very little lame English skill have become a huge burden for Canada over the last few years. I hope you regularly listen to the Interviews by Minister Kenney where he has been emphasizing on the need of people knowing good English/French.

I have pm'ed you. That is how VO will think and ask questions.

Everyone's Welcome.

Hi Rasu, i guess your wife already came to visit you few weeks ago,i remember u telling me?or it was another member hmm.
I am planning on takings pictures,proofs of booking hotel,bording pass and all togheter, bringing some folder and put each proofs separately.I want to start doing that so we dont miss anything,if u havent done it yet it would be a good step, maybe at the last minute you will forget some of the stuffs.So after receiving the interview letter you will be tension free. I dont know if they ask questions then look at the proofs or while asking the questions they want to see the proofs.So because of that i dont want everything to be mixedup so when he wanna show about exp:me going to visit him:he has the folder of boarding pass/passport stanp.bla bla on that folder.You know lol Also i didnt think about taking pictures with my mother in law or brother/sister in law(have some but not togheter ),But i have pictures of my husband with my mother/father/me/brother. And i guess to have pictures with the opposite family member is a plus=they can see we are united as a family or something.What you think?its better to be prepared and be sorry than not prepare and be sorry.
God from Above see and judge, and of course will make us united to our spouse because our love is pure.And theres so much a human can take,god knows better what is best for us.

*Anyone has an idea if theres any extra proofs or documents that i am forgeting about and that would be useful?THANKS
