Hi guys, so here's how the story goes:
I am Russian and my boyfriend is Kiwi and we both reside in Canada. He was my roommate since May in the same house and that's how we met and started dating. In August we decided to move into the same room to save on rent and collect evidence for the visa. We applied in October and I have just received my passport saying the application has been declined since we have only been together for 2 months and they are not satisfied that the relationship is stable and genuine. His working holiday visa here is expiring next week and we are absolutely devastated.
We did not have a joint bank account or a rental lease contract but we sent photos, bank statements sent to the same address and letters of support from friends and our landlord. We are both 23 years old and do not own any property together or do not have any legal binding documents which means there is no more evidence we can possibly provide.
I have no idea what can we do since I have been declined and he has to leave back to New Zealand next week. Has anyone had any hope after being declined?
