I agree with Willy. Start now gathering the evidence. If your case is out of the ordinary they will require lots of data and evidence to explain it.  At least that is the way it was for me (from the USA).  See my 4th post on page 10 of the thread End of the road. That will give you an idea of the paperwork requirement if they suspect something out of the ordinary.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

When I was going through this process, I printed a few conversations from QQ/MSN from each month.  I also printed off around 200 pictures.  There was photo copies of every receipt, plane ticket stub, photo copies of the visa, and basically anything else that seemed relevant to the file.  The more you can provide, the less likely they will ask you for more.

Good day Mark.

When are we going to get an update.  Originally you were going to be in China for 12 days. Either your still there or your back in Canada now.

We are all waiting for news with baited breath.

Thanks everyone for the congrats!!! Yes, I am back in Canada now. 
Caught a bit of a cold the last day I was there, and still recovering from the jet lag.
It was like a scene from a movie. She was waiting  for me at the airport in Shanghai with flowers. As soon as she saw me, she started calling my name.
We hugged, kissed and just looked at each other smiling. There was no doubt , she was the one. We stayed in Shanghai one night and then went to
Hangzhou the next day to celebrate my birthday. She surprised me with a birthday cake at a local resteraunt. We then travelled to her apartment in the suburbs of Hanzhou. On Sept 23 we went and got married at the registration office. We took care of a lot of the immigration paper work as well.
Very cheap to get all the documents nortorized and translated and certified copies made!  We had a large family dinner to celebrate the marriage.
We travelled to the West Lake, and walked across the famous Broken Bridge there. China is an amazing and beautiful place!!! I had to get used to crossing the streets though..wow..you have to always be looking... not just the cars coming at you but the silent electric motorbikes and regualr bikes
comming from behind you as well.   I will write more later..... I will post pics later to, when I have time to resize them....

From catching a cold to being back in the cold, welcome back and congratulations. I hope you will feel all mended by Thanksgiving so that you can enjoy your Turkey and stuffing.

Funny you should say that. Sometime either this morning or last night someone (possibly a politician) on TV said how Thanksgiving is exclusively an American Holiday? D'uh!

Our Thanksgiving is this coming Monday. I guess we celebrate earlier than the USA because we got to get the snow shovel out of the shed in time for preparation H .... Homecoming of Old Man Winter  :-\
