The above link is in Chinese - you'll need to translate it.

The gist of the story is that this couple (Canadian man and Chinese woman) met in 2006, married in 2007, and are still fighting with immigration to get his wife into Canada.  It goes on to state that Hong Kong has the highest denial rate in the world.

I wonder if the gentleman in the story has visited our site? 

My wife sent me the above link.  Almost every week, I have to reassure her that I am not going to divorce her.  She is terrified that we will be denied a second time.  I'll be heading back to China in September to attend our niece's wedding and to try to calm her down.  This will be my 7th trip to see my wife and her family. 

3 weeks ago, I received a letter from the Immigration Appeal board informing me that they received my letter of intent to appeal - 3 months after I sent it.  It states that they have 120 days to contact me with information about our appeal.  I still have not received any reasons for our denial beyond the fact that they do not believe our relationship is real. 

Willy The Londoner:
Canada still has the feel of a country that has an unwritten anti Chinese policy that is a hundred years out of date.

There is always room for you here in China Neil but 'Nil Desperandum' Don't let the B------ds grind you down.

You will make it through.

The problems of the story above were the wife didn't know her husband has a son with his ex-wife and the husband didn't know his wife bought a condo in China.

a joint bank account and the wife drawing from it to pay bills to show support from her husband isnt a bad idea.And an insurance policy showing him or her has the beneficiary.A will in case something happens is a good thing to show.These things would help prove all intentions.Just a suggestion it is some of what I read.

I also read that.  I was thinking about a will as well. 

I just bought a house - my first.  I move in September 1.  I hoped to put her name on the title somehow, but the lawyer doesn't think it's possible until she has her landed immigrant status.  She was devastated when I told her that.  I'll do everything I can.

I have a Chinese friend that owns a hotel in town.  He has offered her a job, which will help with showing that there is a support group here for her (he, his wife and his niece all speak English and Mandarin).  He employs Chinese immigrants and sponsors them for immigration.
