Can I marry my partner to get permanent residence in Canada?

00:00 You can be legally married and still get refused for sponsorship.

00:03 If you apply right after the wedding, that can raise concerns.

00:06 Especially if there are no wedding photos and no guests present at the wedding.

00:11 That can be a big red flag.

00:13 Officers don't just look at the marriage, they assess the full relationship.

00:16 This is something I see all the time and I flag during my consultations.
