Spousal sponsorship with tourist visa denied in the past

[colgate1]

My cousin (Canadian) is married to a non-Canadian lady as well. Bunch of us attended the wedding in her home country.

Before they got married, she applied for a tourist visa and got rejected. Then, she re-applied and satisfied the concerns of the visa officer and her visa approved before they got married.

She will fly to Canada sometime in 2024 and most likely, my cousin would apply for the inland sponsorship.

He will mention the visa refusal in the inland spousal application.

They have gone through everything you can imagine before couples getting married.

- Dated for a while before getting married.

- They traveled and stayed together in her home country.

- Chat logs, photos together and from the wedding are available

- She is highly educated and families met.

- She is an accountant with 7 years experience.

- Gone to a honeymoon.

- She is one year younger than my cousin.

- Their first marriage

- No kids from any other relationships.

- Beneficiaries of each other .

- She has EU visas, and strong ties to her home country, assets, etc.

Real relationship and strong application.

He was over yesterday and we had bbq together. He was worried the inland application might be flagged because she has had her tourist visa refused once.

Based on your experience, what would be the changes of the application being flagged because she had a tourist visa refusal in the past?

What would happen if they flag the application?

Thank you.

(I learnt a lot from this forum and I hope this thread helps other too)

This won't create any issues at all for the application provided she declares this refusal.

BTW - It would be great if in the future you did not bold sections of your post. It makes it more difficult to read.

So, `your cousin' is going through similar angst/turmoil that YOU are, with your Inland spousal application? Really?

I strongly suggest that you and your cousin try to focus on what you want, rather than driving yourself crazy in these forums asking questions that none of us can truly answer. You are, basically, at the mercy of whoever processes the application.

Take a pause from this site for a few days. You might start to relax a bit!

So how exactly did they register their foreign marriage in Canada?

I only ask because I'm not aware of any such process.

Yes, really. And, many applicants tend to have angst/turmoil. That's very normal.

I am actually calm. Just looking for an input. That's all.


I had to post this thread so I could share the link with him.


I dont feel comfortable arguing with you. I highly appreciate it if you do not reply this thread. Thank you.

That is in no meaningful sense a registration of a foreign marriage. As far as I'm aware no such thing in Canada exists (although possibly in some highly specific context).

Sorry to come down hard on this bit it perpetuates confusion amongst others who think there is such a process and that they need to do it.

(Note also in some countries "registering" the marriage is a specific and essential legal step in concluding a marriage - so no more confused text needed, thank you very much)

I am confused too. I might have misunderstood. Yeah, I looked it up. You are right. It says no need to register the foreign marriage in Canada.

I will edit the thread. Thank you. Sorry for the confusion.
