Subject: Spousal Sponsorship Refusal Reasons
  I have seen many reasons for a Spousal Sponsorship refusal but nothing like the case I won as co-counsel on Monday in Regina, SK. (Pro Bono)

The applicant was refused regarding co-mingling of assets, two post office box numbers and the cost of living in Canada.

Sponsor had two sisters sponsored to Canada and was living with one of her sisters paying no rent but babysitting every morning. Working as a Chef in her other sisters restaurant in Gravelsbourg SK population 1,200 every afternoon & evening.

The applicant in China her husband was asked the cost of living in Canada not Gravelsbourg SK. His answer was I don´t know! He stated I have a job waiting for me and we will be able to live rent free in Gravelsbourg SK at my sister In-Laws house. He claimed he could buy a older house for 45K in Gravelsbourg SK and the visa officer did not believe him. MLS.CA

Then the Visa Officer noticed that the post office box address of her brother In-Laws phone bill was different than the one she was using as her address. The street address was the same. The Visa Officer demanded to know why? The applicant her husband again said I don´t know but I swear she is living with her sister ______ and her brother In-Law ______.

The sponsor was using her other sisters post office box number because the restaurant was right across the street from the post office in Gravelsbourg, SK and she was responsible for getting the mail everyday anyways.

Now the Visa Officer did call the sponsor but had already dismissed the interpreter so the Visa Officer never got the logical explanation regarding the post office box issue.

Co-Mingling of assets!

There is no way to open a bank account for your overseas husband unless he is sitting right in front of the Bank employee so they can see him/her sign their name. Few if any will allow you to purchase life insurance without a proper medical check up in Canada and what does life Insurance have to do with proving a bond between a couple?

Now for the cost of living issue. The cost of living in certain areas of Vancouver and Toronto are many more times higher than in Gravelsbourg SK.

My co-counsel Bernadette Vooght of Alpha Immigration, Moose Jaw, SK created such a complete submission package the Ministers Counsel after asking just a few questions conceded that the marriage was genuine and not entered into for the purpose of gaining a benefit under the act - PR status. The member quickly made it a joint decision.

Either way this loving couple who did their application themselves have been apart for two years since her husbands interview.

We all interpret things differently but cost of living (in Canada) is not an issue when you already have free accommodation, a job waiting for you in which you can walk to work.

A loving couple kept apart. Visa Officers can and must ask more logical questions and followup questions to get a better explanation.
