Spousal sponsorship India - Please advice in application process

[hope1987]

Hello Everyone,

I had few questions which I needed to ask before I proceed with my spouses application,

1) I got engaged beginning of this year before I received my PR - Engaged in January 2015 and PR received in June 2015. So my question is when I received the landing documents, they asked me if I was married and I said no at the time. So will that be alright, if I declare my engagement when filing for my spouses PR?

2) Is it possible to apply for my spouse's work permit before applying for her PR, and if so can I apply for an open work permit? As I want my spouse to come to Canada asap as we have been away for almost a year and will have to wait more if i apply for PR before applying for work permit.

3) As mine is an arrange marriage, what all documents would I need to submit in PR application to prove our marriage and relationship is legit? What all supporting documents will I need, if some one can help and has been through same process?

Anyone who can help with these questions, will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you once again...

1) You'll need to be married before you can submit the PR application. Being engaged isn't enough. And yes, it was fine not to declare your engagement when you landed.
2) No - you can't.
3) You would show evidence of the arranged marriage, engagement and wedding ceremonies / celebrations.

Can someone else please advice, I just need an affirmation from few people before I go ahead with the application.

You weren't married, but had you been living together?

Arranged marriage, in India, no such thing as living together before marriage...
