Sending money to my sponsored wife - good or bad for application?

[denis_mtrl]

Hi,
I've been sending money to my sponsored wife, who is a young student.
Should I show it on application?

Sounds like its good, as its not her sending me money.. but any money related topics are not clear..

What you think?
Thanks!

Yes, it shows how you financially support your wife.

Thanks ! So you mean its "good" ? okay good to know, I'll add more details and proof on it then!
Thank you!

I think it is good and honest. My husband included that as it showed he was supporting me. It is proof a relationship. All the best.

There are few stronger pieces of evidence than showing that you have an important financial connection with your partner!

How would it look bad if the Applicant is sending money to the sponsor?

I am the sponsor but my husband (from the U.S) sends me money to put towards our savings for when we move in together.

Does that look bad? I didn't think it would

Hi Spoken05,

I don't think it looks bad if you have lots more evidence to support your story. It looks bad if that is all you have or the main thing. Otherwise it is just part of what you share. All the best.

The sponsor sending the applicant money is good. It is considered good evidence the relationship is genuine. It is not necessary, though. If the applicant has a good job and does not need money, a sponsor shouldn't worry that he/she hasn't sent any.

American applicants (and applicants from other first-world countries) are not ordinarily suspected of committing marriage fraud to get into Canada. So I would mention that your husband is sending you money, and explain what you are doing with it. Saying you are saving up to buy a house or something like that, with proof, is good evidence the relationship is genuine.

If the sponsor is from a third-world country, I would hesitate about mentioning any money he/she sends. Mentioning any gifts for birthdays or Christmas would be fine, as long as they are not too extravagant. But money? One appeal case I read was refused because the applicant in China sent the sponsor $20,000 dollars. Definitely looked like a payment for sponsoring, rather than a gift. And one friend of my husband sent his sponsor money, and that was one of the grounds of refusal. The visa officer thought it looked like he was paying her to sponsor him.
