Hello!
For spousal sponsorship, would a court marriage in Canada without parents present be acceptable if we had only close friends as witnesses?
We are originally from India and met in Canada in 2023. Both of us came to Canada independently on study permits. We have been in a relationship for 2 years prior to the marriage, have many photos together (including with each other’s families), and letters of support from friends and family. We also included other proof such as financial support for each other, living together for over a year, and more.
We have already applied for sponsorship and did not include any letter of explanation about the absence of parents.
Would this be an issue?
