suva said:2 years conditional visa followed by interviews for both sponsor and sponsored person will solve the problem. staying together for 2 years is more satisfying than expensive trips, registered phone calls, money transaction receipts etc. under current rule many genuine couple(specially from 3rd world countries) face troubles because they dont have enough proofs. some dont have enough money arrange ceremonies, some get married against the will of the family members., some just dont keep records of their relationship.. all these raise red flags and eventually they get refused or have to wait 2+ years to get through. so if they stay together successfully for few years then its easy to call them genuine couples with less hassles.
I haven't read anywhere that CIC expects conditional visas to actually speed up the process, but that SHOULD be a result if the VO assessing an application can give a "yes" to uncertain cases, knowing that the 2-year period allows corrective action.
