I also have a general question for Canadians marrying people back home - are they your relatives? what's your reason for not marrying someone in Canada?

That's a rather broad generalization and frankly, a little offensive. I married the love of my life, and if I had found him in the Fiji Islands I'd have married and brought him here just like I am doing now.

hi,

do we need to show rukhsati if we are applying for our spouse sponsorship? Is nikkah not enough?
Sadly in Pakistani culture most people have a Rukhsati before marriage can begin. Marriage is cohabitation. The government wants to make sure it's a genuine marriage and not one of convenience therefore they require Rukhsati. You don't have to have one so long as the married couple can show they lived together for a bit after nikkah which technically is the legal form of marriage in Pakistani law as well.

oh sorry I'm really not trying to be offensive. I have just generally seen that Pakistani parents of these first gen Pak-Canadians tend to want their kids marrying their brother or sister's kids back home. I am not saying that in a negative way at all, I'm sorry my actual tone isn't getting through lol I am really just curious. I am in that boat, so I can't be against it haha.

How did you meet your spouse if you don't mind me asking

I believe people should marry for love, not because their parents are forcing them to marry their siblings' kids. I met my husband 9 years ago during a summer visit to the city I was born in. He is an amazing human being and we fell in love. Due to our circumstances in life, we couldn't be together for too long and then a few years back we got back together and decided to make our relationship a priority in our life. All I know is that love comes in all shapes, sizes, colours, genders and nationalities. We often cannot help it and that is why I am sure people are stuck in highly stressful long distance relationships. Hope all lovers are reunited soon :)

This too sounds offensive, to all those who married their cousins. It seems to imply that parents only ever force their children to marry their siblings' kids, and everyone who marries their cousin is forced.

Hi Waseem,
Did they mentioned the reason of refusal?
Do you mean that the sponsorship approval got refused?
Or were you approved as a sponsor and PA GOT refused?
Stupid VO writes the reasons " Relationship is not genuine" and " This marriage is a marriage of convenience"
PA got refused.
