Hello everyone,
I became a PR more than a year back on economy class. I met my wife after that and got married last March. I am now trying to sponsor her. She is currently not in Canada though she studied in Canada and lived on a study permit for several years.
Her family is very happy with her marriage and approve of me. I have spoken to several of her siblings. I will be traveling to her country this March to meet her family and they are looking forward to seeing me.
However, my relationship with my family is very strained. I speak to my father every week and exchange emails with him. However, I am hardly on speaking terms with my mother and have cut off the rest of the family. This happened long before my marriage and the toxic atmosphere at home was the reason for leaving my country and coming to Canada in the first place 3 years back. As for marriage I told them much later about it and that too just by email. I have that email thread. But they have neither approved not rejected but just left me to do what I want.
My question is how do I put this down in my application? Do I describe the strained relations and attach the email? Or will CIC have a problem even if I do? Or do I skip it in entirety? If I do I am pretty sure they will get back to me.
There's nothing much I can do about my family. I plan to apply as sponsor and await the outcome whatever that might be. My wife and I have were living together for more than a year in Canada and we got married in Canada too. So we have a decent amount of proof.
Thanks in advance.
