Hello! I have some questions and I will be very happy to finally get some "light in the end of the tunel".
1.I was in the past going to Canada through Work and Travel program. I was applying for the program in 2012 and in that time I was together with one girl, we lived together. We both applied to this program. As we were together we put in our application that we are common-laws. But shortly after we applied she withdrew her documents and left me. Then I went to Canada and after a year I met the girl, we both went to reside in Great Britain (I am EU citizen). We married. Now we want to apply to family class immigration, she is a citizen of Canada and she is homesick and I will follow her wherever she will go. In application I need to answer - had I ever been in marriage or common-law relationship. What should I answer? I don't want to lie. If I will say yes, immigration office maybe will ask proof about these relationship, but as it was not a legal status in my home country, I don't have anything how to prove I ever had this kind of relationship. To proof common-law relationship we were told we need to have shared bills or giving oath. But none of them we made back then, so we didn't prove we had them, we just wrote them in application as some embassy worker told - we can write it anyways, that's not making a big deal as we are not immigrating anyways. But back then I was not thinking I will be immigrating in the future and this, maybe a mistake from past, will make me problems today. Also I am aware of strict laws, if you make some mistake they can take that as mispresentation and permanently refuse application. I saw in the application there is a question - Divorce papers/separation papers/death certificate attached?
2.Also I read that immigration doesn't like when parents are not attending marriage. We wanted small marriage, so we could have more money to spent after marriage. Our parents are in USA, so we thought it would be more reasonable that we will make some party for them and other relatives and friends when we will move back. By the way, I met her whole family, even cousins, uncles etc, she also met already everyone except my parents.
Also do we need to send our photos, messages or traveling tickets to proof that we are together, live together and share love? I don't want to look in immigration eyes like some kind of bad person with dirty intentions. My whole life changed when I met my wife, before I met her I was planning to move to parents to USA as I had great plans about States and my future.
3.Also our intentions are to settle finally in Canada, I know that Canada immigration is asking proof that we will really leave our current country of residence (Great Britain) and go to Canada. But probably we can't prove that - we don't have a lease agreement, or job offer, but only some plans in our heads. I will work, but she will study and work, maybe I will study as well to make my qualifications higher. But we can't prove that on paper. However she lived her whole life in Canada, so maybe that's makes sense that she can be homesick..
Most horrible thing in this is a thought that just decision of one immigration officer can change our lifes and make us struggle or change our plans we built. Just one decision and officer can split two loving partners who already have names for their future kids.
