This article examines the processual lived experience of family reunification in Canada from the perspective of Canadian women in binational relationships. It explores how the administrative difficulties that these women face, especially regarding the questioned authenticity of their marriage, brings about strategies of resistance, but also (re)produces the idea of conjugal authenticity. The semantic construction of authenticity allows for these women to legitimise their non-normative spouse selection.
