I met my wife in november 2014 in Thailand and got married in august 27 2015; she came to visit me for 3 month before we married. Every thing went smoothly with the outland application.

I met my husband in Feb. 2015 went to meet him in Tunisia Dec 13 2015 Married Jan 6 2016. He went for an interview last week and she told him to tell me that I would be getting a rejection letter because we were married to soon and had no engagement.and that I should start the appeal. I am waiting for the letter and in the meantime I am trying to research on how to appeal.

Sorry to hear that!! There is many red flag and reason for rejection but in your case it's probably because you married the first time you met in person.
I don't know if it is your case but metting someone online then getting married the first time you met him in person it's a big red flag for the visa officer even if the relation is genuine.

We were together for 10 months seeing each other every day (except the 2 weeks i visited home in november) and my wife moved in a month before we got married.

Im only staying in canada to be with my wife otherwise id have gone back to teaching in england, there arent any teaching jobs in canada. Im also worried theyll red flag the fact my IEC is expiring not long after we got married but im moving onto a visitor visa rather than bring the wedding forward to get OWP sooner.

I know im a worrier by nature, im just worried theyll say we got married too quickly since we had that stigma from some family and friends albiet short lived annd now everyone is happy for us.

Yes that is what happened. I wish I would have read something about that earlier. We may have rethought our plans but maybe not as it is the real thing. So either way we wait. We will appeal and I will go back hopefully in July or August.

We met in Person in January and married in April 2016..... we were engaged after 3 months. Luckily my parents and sister were there in Jan 2016 and met him as well they all wrote support letters
I am hoping they will not reject us. We only applied in dec 2016 for sponsorship however
Been married over a yr now and couldnt be happier

This post makes me nervous though..
