No, my spouse’s presence was made mandatory and as the officer had a lot of doubts about the marriage genuinity. Luckily he was in Pakistan those days. First I was called in alone, then both of us together. He was not questioned separately. The officer was Caucasian female, a very nice person. She confirmed on the spot that she believes and is satisfied that our relationship is genuine, and would issue remedical right away. The questions were basically about our likes, dislikes, how well we know each other, what I know about his life in Canada, his previous marriage, what he knows about me and what are our future plans. The questions were very detailed, pertaining to our specific situation. Of course one of the question was: what would you do if I deny your case? I and hubby answered, he will move to Pakistan in that case and will appeal the decision too in the meantime as we just want to be together.
