The immigration office must have some questions. An interview is only called when there are red flags indicated on a file. If it is straight forward they won't get an interview.
It could be anything that they feel needs clarification - that is what the interview is for. If all paperwork is in order they don't book interviews. Strange.... good luck to your brother.

Thanks,

Well from the application and the two of them individually I can't see any red flag myself. It might mean they need more clarification on their relationship.

On the other hand when my husband went for his interview the VO said she has no doubt about the marriage, she could see it was a genuine marriage (me visiting him 6 times plus being there with him for the interview and also the fact that we have a son together) but when we receive the decision she clearly states she does not believe the marriage is genuine. So you never really know what to expect with them.

Even if the 6 visits was a lie, and all of this application was ruse (communication, letters etc...). Who will have a child with someone, and the marriage is fake? That would be a little extreme no? But seriously you does wonder what goes through these VO's minds. SMH at these blasted people

Side questions:Do they give a reason for the decline? (just asking for my knowledge, as I do not know)


Good morning everyone, Happy Monday, another week has gone by, we embark on one less to go forward with.


Cheers,

Ryan

Well I had proof, my passport being stamped, tickets, boarding pass and airport tax for all my trips.

They did, one being that the marriage is not genuine, how he only want to gain status in Canada (mind you, we got married in Toronto and we were living together before he left plus we have a house together). Also that there is no proof that he supports our son. No evidence that we communicate because I was using calling cards and he would call from the internet. But the main one was that the marriage was not genuine.

Like you said the other day, April, May, and this will be a distant memory. A distant memory your kids can talk about in time to come. A time that you can talk about that if you want something bad enough, patience, and the determination and trust will get you through anything.

Let this be a lesson!


Honestly, that is what I keep reminding myself. If you and your spouse, in fact, any one of us can put up with this BS. Even if it wasn't red tape, and a couple just had to put up with the effort of putting together the application, supporting documentations, time away from each other etc...this will make the relationship so much stronger with such trust and dedication This is what give me the patience, to know that we eh playin' de @$$ here, we here together on a mission of one!

*sighs*
Just thinking about what we have to go through does get me not necessary emotional to cry or anything, but is thankful! I think that's the word (unless someone else has a better one), "Thankful" that we have a spouse, someone else who is willing to give up time in their live to be with us. It doesn't matter who is sponsoring, it’s just the hardship we go through to be together. This is what cools me down when my wife is upset with this process, or personal issues, coupled with all of this "BS" we have to go through. I just listen and let her vent. This is small'ting', within the big picture.

I'll say that I’m young, being 35, growing up in Canada (20+years) , I never really felt the I would meet someone like her (the life style here, and what I grew up with are totally different). Someone with similar thoughts, future goals, believes, and family values. Then to meet that person (900 freaking miles away ; F@WK me), and have to put up all of the app processing and BS), it honestly makes the fight even more fierce. I ain't fkn around, I’m here to fight, to cut A $$, and move forward, and come out guns blazin. It’s either ALL of none – no slackness.

This is why I fight. I have so much respect for you guys that are in this with me. Separate cases, but one fight.

OKOK enough of this emotion sheit, move along, move along *pushes tdguy, move nah boy!, stop w yuh crying *dohh worry padna, yuh go see yuh gyul soon in London* lol blow yuh nose, wipe your tears, and get yuh backside to WOK!!

Happy Monday my friends, last week done, this is a new one, may we get good news, or have a pleasant week, and keep our heads high.
Like I tell my Cadets every day, Shoulders Up, Back Down, Chins up, look proud!

Cheers

Ryan

Hey DSM,

Surprising that its not via email - stupid question (im sure you may have) but did you look through the junk mail folder or any other folder in the event the email was some how filtered from the Inbox? What I normally do is search of the PASPAN email address in the event it was filtered. If its not there at least by tomorrow you will know how they sent the correspondence. In the recent threads, and personal experience, PSPAN is pretty good with responding in less than <24 to 48 hrs.



Cheers,

Ryan

Hey Ryan, my application has been in process for the past 14 months, I had no issue receiving emails from CIC. I am thinking maybe they sent this correspondence via MAIL, which I haven't receive yet, by them responding to my email this morning should clear this up. If I however get this correspondence via mail. The status should have informed me and give me one less stress in this process. This waiting test is real I must say .....

Yup... I have been reading various threads on this forum... and if it is PPR it should update to decision made....

I think I have sorta figured out how POS works... the only thing is that there two individuals here back in December that got their PPR emailed to them...

So now I am trying to determine circumstances where you would be mailed a request versus emailed. Which is why I asked about the use of a representative form...
