Very early to receive anything. Takes a few weeks, sometimes longer for some.

Yes, that is the advice because they look at relationships to see if they are genuine. We have the same concern as we didn't have a traditional wedding, but i explained in detail my reasons.
For example, my husband is born in Pakistan but has Spain citizenship (living in UK), I am born and raised in Canada. Our religious beliefs are different so we chose not to have a traditional Nikah, and had a civil ceremony. It was not a big wedding because of family deaths very close to the ceremony and close family members disapproval with the relationship.
I explained it better in the questions on the relationship forms but you get what i mean.
I gave as much as I could to explain that it was okay for us to not do traditional or religious wedding.
I sent texts over our 4 years, trip details, airbnb receipts, social media posts
Before getting married we were in long distance but we met and travelled together, staying together. So i showed that we are not a traditional couple, so its normal for us to choose not to have the wedding they were expecting. Even with that I do think they will question it, but theres nothing more i could have provided to prove relationship.

Unfortunately they label everyone from a certain ethnicity, culture, religion with same brush even through traditions and values vary between families, areas and upbringing. Just be as honest as possible.

Yes unfortunately even if its genuine proving it is hard even with people who have more proof than your situation.

Just having patience with the process and being prepared can help, but unfortunately these marriages and frauds are common so they need to have a level of scrutiny

Finally!!!!
Application package delivered on Jan 2nd. My wife just now got the email, confirming the acceptance. Status says "Started processing on Feb 6th".

Question for you experts: I still can't link the application through my CIC account. I have tried UCI Number, Application Number, Applicant details, etc. It always fails to find the application. Am I missing something?

Hello, may I please know if you hired immigration lawyer for that? If you could suggest anyone that I can start my case with?

residing (look at the last columns and you will see this)

Thank you

Hello, we didn't hire an immigration lawyer. We felt it's a big waste of money as the application is very straight forward (though it's time consuming), given someone takes time to read through the instructions and double-checks everything. I would suggest the same.

I would really be interested to know first hand (not what is described on the website) what it was like to have a medical done for this process (and what they did/asked etc) and also what you did for biometrics.

If anyone is willing to share their actual experience that would be cool! I'm curious!
