Spousal Sponsorship Educational & Religious Incompatibilities

[Rajpal (Admin)]

Pursuant to IRPR section 4(1), a foreign national’s spousal sponsorship application shall be refused if:

– The relationship was entered into primarily for the purposes of acquiring any status or privilege in Canada; or

– The marriage is not genuine.

A visa officer at the visa post will make a decision on your spousal sponsorship application upon considering all the facts of the case. Having differences such as age and culture does not necessarily mean that your spousal sponsorship will be refused. I would suggest that you explain the circumstances of your relationship in the appropriate sections of application and in a cover letter. Please get advise from a professional immigration consultant or lawyer for further information who deal with such matters on a regular basis. An immigration professional or a lawyer can write detailed submissions and can refer to related case laws.
