Hey everyone!
I am a Canadian man who has been in an online relationship with a woman from Kenya for 3 years. Much time has passed with no travel visits due to financial circumstances which has now improved. Now, we are looking to find the fastest way to live together as we are absolutely guaranteed that we are fit to be spouses and parents for our children. My question is, can we get married while she comes to Canada with a visitors visa? If we can get married with a visitors visa, we intend that she comes as a visitor, we get married, and then we apply for sponsorship as she resides in Canada as a visitor.
Is this a correct approach to a sponsorship? Does anyone know if this is the easiest approach to getting married and sponsoring a spouse to Canada?
Also does anyone know if there will be any set backs or any sort of issue that we can run into if we went with this approach to sponsorship?
Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you all!
Note: I tried to summarize this as briefly as possible. If further information is needed to provide a helpful answer I am definitely open to providing more details.
