Getting married on a TRV, misrepresentation?

[canadianpilot]

Hi,

I know that someone on a TRV can get married in Canada, then apply outland or inland for PR status. Is there not a risk of misrepresentation to this though? In the application for TRV, you have to submit evidence that you will leave Canada at the end of your visit, and you have to state the length of the visit when you pass through immigration at the airport on arrival. Assuming that the information in the TRV application was genuine at the time of application, is it just a case of "plans change", avoiding the risk of representation?

Thanks.

Plans can change.

However, if you apply for the visa as single and then suddenly get married on your tourist visa and subsequently apply for PR, this will raise suspicions about the genuiness of your relationship. Since you applied as single and made no mention of visiting your fiancé/bf/gf in your application you may not be able to use any proofs you have complied and will have to rely on your evidence solely based on after you arrived. My advice is to mention you are in a relationship and are planning to visit that person in your application at the very least.

I disagree 100%. You do NOT need to mention a boyfriend/girlfriend/fiancé relationship. To answer your question specifically, "no" it's not misrepresentation.

I didn't say it would be misrepresentation, I merely stated it might look suspicious to CIC in a marriage of convenience way.

i applied a TRV the intent mentioned was to visit my fiance and marry her they refused the TRV
i applied in a week with stronger proofs the TRV was approved for six month single entry so there is no harm i suppose

i had some other red flags so my case went into an interview i am sure it was not for the above mentioned reason though

Good luck

It wont be misrepresenation, as you can do whatever you want when you get here, plans can change. The question is whether or not the border officers will feel you are a genuine visitor. Personally I wont mention marriage or boyfriend/girlfriend unless asked.

Also inland is generally a poor chioice for most applicants, better to apply outland while the spouse is still in Canada
