Has anyone sponsored a married filipina as common law spouse.

HI there.. Im here in alberta.. ordered the divorce kit myself and Im reading through the book before I fill up the forms.. How long ba did it take u to get your divorce? May appearance ba? thanks..

[wyn_tayong]

Hi! You can file for a Divorce since u are already there in Canada for awhile. File for an Uncontested divorce, its easier will take u 6 months without any appearance and all. Thats what i did before even if i was on TRV. Then u and ur partner can get married then file for ur application for PR.

Goodluck!

Do I need a lawyer for the uncontested divorce? thanks..

Hello there!
 mine was also uncontested at sabi ko nga i got my divorce cert last month...no need the appearance,mind you super dali lang. punta ka sa family law centre sa kung anumang city ka,then ask for help from the people in LINC,sila mismo ang gumawa ng lahat ng papel ko.

nope naiwan sila sa ex kong baliw.. Yung youngest ko which is only 3 years old was with me dito sa manila isasama ko sana kaya lang ayaw pirmahan ng ex ko yung papers. so ang gagagawin ko na lang kunin ko sila after 2 years. Grabe since december 27 pa passport ko sa CEM till now walang balita. Nwala address ko sa ecas nung jan 27 till now di pa bumabalik. Lungkot na lungkot na nga ako dito eh kasi kakakuha lang ng ex ko dun sa bunso ko. Mag-isa lang ako dito. sana
maaprove na ako para makaalis nako.

Naku ermn wag ka mag alala. Kasi pag nakarating kana dito sa Canada magiging busy kana. May advantage din na di mo muna sila makuha kasi mas makaka focus ka na ayusin ang buhay mo at maka pag settle ng maayos. Mag aral ka dito or mag upgrade ka ng education mo. Kilala ka naman ng mga anak mo kaya wag ka mag worry. Pag malalaki na sila at may isip na hahanapin ka rin nila at sila na mag de decide kung sasama sila sayo. At least ang gawin mo i-ready mo nalang sarili mo in the future at mag ipon

I totally understand your situation. May anak din akong isa na di ko makuha. Pero nag let go ako at nag focus nalang na ayusin ang life ko. Ok lang yan Sis, may mga baggy na di nation control. Naku pray pray na talaga tayo na sana di na magtagal ang DM natin. Be happy friend malalagpasan mo yan. Hayaan mo sa tatay yung mga bata. Ok lang yan

Thanks sis hehehe yup sasama sa akin mga anak o gusto na nga nila sumama now eh, ayaw nila sa dad nila. Alam nila what i went through with their dad and they understand everything sila pa nga nagsabi sa akin noon na hiwalayan ko na kaya lang ayoko ng broken family kaya lang nasobrahan na talaga ako and I decided to leave na, and binigay naman sa akin ni God yung bago kong partner. He loves me and my kids so much. Wala lang I just feel that I'm a bad mom kasi hindi ko sila kasama and dagdag pa pressure ng mommy ko na dapat daw na sa akin mga anak ko and those things. Basta nakakaloka tapos antagal ng wala akong balita sa CEM, alam mo yun my depression and frustrations are at capacity right now I dont know what to do anymore. Plus the fact that I'm living alone makes it a lot lot lot more worse

You don`t need your husband`s cooperation for you to file an annulment, all you need is money, a good lawyer and a lot of patience, kasi masyadong matagal ang annulment at mahal.  Are you both Filipino citizen, ikaw at ang second husband mo?  Ang pagkakaintindi ko kasi kahit legally divorced ka sa Canada you`re still legally married in the Philippines.  It means you cannot get married again unless you had your marriage annulled or your divorce in Canada have it recognized aat the regional trial court(you need the service of aa Filipino lawyer.  My advice, please ask for guidance from a Family lawyer in the Philippines.  As i see it your second marriage is void.  I hope i`m wrong, i don`t want to be the bearer of bad news but before sending your application please consult a lawyer.

Canadian na po ako nung madivorce sa ex husband, my lawyer here is filipino too. Sabi niya my divorce here in Canada is valid and legal, nagpakasal po kami ng 2nc husband ko sa labas ng pinas so that by Canadian law its legal. Do you think i hohonor ng Canadian Immigration sa Pinas un or they'll go by Philippine law? Salamat po sa reply

hi im in dire need of advise, please no hateful replies.

im already a PR here in Canada, but before i got my PR i had a boyfriend who is a tourist also from the Philippines and we had a son, but to make things complicated i was married then, my boyfriend who is also married in the Philippines left me, so to make things right i told my husband what happened and accepted my mistakes and i was able to sponsor my husband and my elder son into Canada, but after more than a year of struggling with our relationship we ended up in divorce, we have been divorced now for more than a year, on the other hand, i was able to reconnect with the father of my youngest son, this time he is already separated with his wife.

i am thinking of applying him as my conjugal partner, and in doing so, would it affect our status as PRs?  i need your advise please, God Bless!

Conjugal is a difficult road to take because unless you get a very lenient visa officer, you must prove that you have been in a marriage like relationship for 1 year or more and that immigration barriers or law of the land is preventing you from living together to qualify as a common law.

Have you been in a marriage like relationship with this man for more than 12 months?  Do you support him or he supports you financially?  Do you have joint bank accounts, joint property, insurance policies naming each other as beneficiaries and wills naming each other as heirs?

Could you marry him if you wanted to but choose not to?  Could you live with him if you wanted to but choose not to?  Are you ready to take financial responsibility for him for 3 years after he comes to Canada?  Those are questions you need to know the answer to as well.

As for your PR being safe, if you tell the whole story about the affair and your husband forgiving you etc., they may believe that you were already separated from your husband when you sponsored him to Canada which means he got his PR based on misrepresentation and could lose it.  Did you actually sponsor him after you got your PR or did you include him on your own PR application as your dependent?  If you got your PR first and then sponsored him, you can not sponsor a new partner until your husband has been a PR for 3 years.
