The best answer to that is in that study you found and posted.ok but even if someone were to be in a genuine relationship, what im trying to understand is how an immigration officer uses his/her discretion to determine if someone under the spousal sponsorship will be granted permanent residency or not?
I think it's part of their job description to be "fair." I mean, you never know, but these people are operating in a highly regulated environment.do you think that all immigration officers will be fair and just or does it depend on the individual at hand?
There's only one way to answer this question. And that's if you were married to a Canadian and they sponsored you. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and that won't change no matter how many times you ask.i guess what i really want to know is this, how can a married couple with one of the spouses having a case exactly like mine know or determine on their own if permanent residency will even be granted or not?
Nobody can give you an exact answer. They can give your their best guess, based on their experience. (For example, we have been doing sponsorships for over a decade, so our consultants have a pretty good idea of what will work and what won't.) Anyone who claims they can tell you exactly what is going to happen is lying to you. Nobody other than lawyers and consultants are allowed to give paid advice. There may be non-profits out there who can give free advice, but their advice would also be recommendations, not promises. Nobody can know, for sure, what the officer will decide. They can just make educated guesses.other than immigration lawyers, what expert in this case in particular should i consult with who can tell me what the immigration officer will decide in a case where one spouse has been deported from the united states as a legal permanent resident for an aggravated felony if whether or not he or she will obtain permanent residency to canada or not?
