Canadian Officials and South Africa

South Africa: The couple had met during a mission trip in Uganda, according to CTV. David and Desere were wed in South Africa, a decision that is hampering the couple from spending their lives together in Exshaw. After proposing to Desere, a South African, David was told by Canadian officials the couple would not be permitted to marry in Canada for two years. I’ve just been separated for three years by a system that is broken, said David. If we had just lived common law, there is actually a visa for that, explains David. Desere is unable to visit Canada until she is approved for a resident visa, a process that could have begun earlier if the couple chose not to wed. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
