Yes they investigate to ensure that the relationship (marriage, common-law, conjugal) between partners is genuine. They will take cues from your culture and what is considered common in India. Whatever is way outside of cultural norms they will looks closer at...ronaldo7 said:
The Hindu marriage act is considered legal and binding in India in the eyes of local law which is accepted in Canada if I am correct (any marriage contract that is considered legal and binding in the country of origin). Not sure how registration plays into it or if that is automatic when Hindu marriage rites are performed. For whatever it's worth, I don't understand why you didn't declare yourself married when you landed and save yourself this trouble - it is a form of misrepresentation any way you look at it.ronaldo7 said:

This may create confusion in some areas, but it is not something that bothers CIC. In fact, CIC is perfectly willing to accept a traditional arranged marriage from India. However, when they do so, they then expect to see evidence that all of the traditional ceremonies have been done, and that all of the traditional practices have been followed. Lots of spousal sponsorships from India (and other countries with arranged marriages) have had problems because they did not have elaborate weddings and did not follow all the traditions.ronaldo7 said:
The Hindu Act is made to save women from desertion so that men cannot divorce them without legal proceedings not for getting visas. You still have to register the marriage for your government to let them know you are married before even applying for a visa. There is no way a background check will come true as to weather I am married or not until unless either my wife or her parents come forward with it.canuck_in_uk said:
Regardless, India considers you legally married. You wouldn't have lived with her in India otherwise. Legally recognized in India, legally recognized in Canada.ronaldo7 said:
it is clearly States in document checklist from India that they only need marriage certificate from registrar of marriages.so u r fine. in India also the rules changed to be have valid marriage the religious marriage should be registered with registrar of marriages.this is applicable the marriages who performed in 2012 or after that.Canada do not recognize your temple / traditional/religion marriage as a valid one without registration.the people who don't include their registered marriage certificate in their packages they get their package back.one of my friend he did the same thing and when he applied for his wife he clearly states everything that on landing time his marriage wasn't legal.actually when he was about to land on border he said to the border agent about his religious wedding .the border agent asked him do u have legal marriage certificate back from India.he said no.he said how come you cosidered as married.then he said u r probably a common law category if u stayed with your partner a year or more than a year.he said he only stayed Dr for 4 months.then he said you have only 2 options as you are not legally married u can land as a single which you are actually. and if you want to sponsor ur partner right now go back to your home Country register ur marriage.and your copr will be cancelled .add your partner to your application. so he choose the first option to land.ronaldo7 said:
