Hi all, I've read many wonderful posts and I thought I'd finally ask my own questions-
I met my partner online in 2015. I came here to Canada in 2016 and have been here ever since. I hail from Aussie and one thing I noticed is the majority of the applicants here did not meet online... do the officers scrutinize against couples that have met online? especially because i do not have contact with my side of family, and only his father, aunt and cousins are aware of our relationship (mother divorced and not in canada). i am afraid because my family doesnt know (as i havent spoken to them in years) and only 3 of his family members know(very small family, not many cousins, no brother or sisters) the officer would think of us as a red flag. how can we counter this and what can we do? we've lost a lot of our chat logs and we met on a game. we have a joint bank account, pictures with our friends... about to sign a common law form.. filed our tax together for 2017.. lease with both our names on it, license showing same addresses, phone mobile plans showing same addresses... and our internet in both our names, home insurance as well. he just got a new job and will add me on his insurance after 3 months, my job does not offer that (i am here legally), and he drives his father's car so im not under his insurance as its not even his car. what else should we be providing? i am scared the officer will think i am only getting in for PR purposes even though my passport is from aussie and mainly because of the families issue... any advice anybody? pls? how do we explain this?
ive tried looking into this but so far bad news- looks like some blogs and what not mention that officers DO see relationships established from online as red flags.. which is bad news..
