A Judicial Review is a judicial review of an administrative decision. It can be requested when you believe that a decision made by Immigration Canada was unfair or wrong.
A prenuptial agreement is a contract signed before marriage that states how assets will be divided and finances handled in the event of separation or divorce. It is legally binding if signed fairly and with legal advice.
If you are married, attach your marriage certificate or marriage registration, it is not advisable to apply for the visa if your marriage took place within the last 3 months. It is suggested to apply after 4 months (or more) after getting married so that the document gains seniority.
If your marriage certificate has been issued recently (less than 4 months, prior to this application), Immiland strongly recommends providing supporting documentation to reinforce the genuineness of your relationship and to avoid suspicion on the official when evaluating your marriage relationship due to the recent celebration of the marriage.
The elements that can be used as evidence to prove the genuineness of your marriage are any of the following:
- Shared ownership of a residential property
- Joint leases or leases in the name of both parties
- Bills for shared or individual utility bills (one old and one new) showing the same residence address, such as:
- Important documents for both showing the same address, such as:
- driving licenses
- insurance policies
- identification documents
If you are in a common-law marriage, it is IMPERATIVE to make an affidavit on the form recognized by Canada. Immiland Canada can provide the service of declaration of common-law marriage: https://www.immilandcanada.com/declaracion-jurada/declaracion-jurada-de-union-libre. Extrajudicial declarations made in your home country DO NOT REPLACE this document.
Additionally, we recommend accompanying the declaration of free union in the Canadian forms of proof of your union. Please refer to the examples mentioned above for fresh marriages.
If you are married or cohabiting, but traveling alone, you may optionally provide us with the marriage certificate or cohabitation certificate, the reason being that this would strengthen your social roots.
