I got married last August and came to Canada immediately afterwards. It took us a while to get all our documents together and now I´ve finally managed to get everything in order so I can send the package in this week. However, six months have passed since we got married and I got back. Will my application be rejected because of this long delay ? Would I need to apply through a lawyer to make sure there are no problems?

Hi Freddy,
For me, it doesnt matter if there is a long delay in submitting application, as long as u can prove that your relationship is genuine. We just submitted our application last week, four months after our wedding and i think there would be no problem with that.
We didnt hire a lawyer, we had just followed the guide carefully and reading this forum help me organize everthing.( thank you guys) . But we did hire an immigration consultant just to review our application which really worked cuz she found out that i forgot to sign in one of the forms re: certifying no children, and some errors like the date. So it really help to have someone to review your application. Whats a few dollars, compared to months of delay cuz of errors.
Dont worry man, everything will be alright with ur application.

Thanks a lot Marnelle,
However, I guess I have to mention that we are in an interfaith relationship. I´m from a Muslim background and my wife is a Christian. I just read on another website that a vancouver resident was denied a visa because of the same situation. Imagine, CANADA, a country that prides itself in tolerance denying someone a visa because they married another person from a different religion!

Anybody with any experience on this topic ?

if you were both living in Canada and got married as an interfaith couple - no problem. Concern becomes the cultural norms of the country wehre you currently live. The more unusual the circumstances, the more likely it is a marriage of convenience.
