Thank you.
The Immigration and Refugee Act requires spouses going through a sponsorship process to prove to visa officers that their relationship is genuine. What are the factors used to assess the genuineness of the relationship for family reunification or sponsorship applications?
For my second question on the same issue, what might be expected in a western context that might not be appropriate in other contexts? Are officers trained to use culturally sensitive ways to judge the genuineness of the marriage?
