If there's no stopping you from getting married then do it. I do not advise applying as conjugal partners in your case.

YES.

Re: PR - same *censored word* couple Mirkopal, my advice to you still stands. Apply as common-law partners. The fact that you can think of a way to live together means that an IO would most probably think of it too! Like what we have told you it doesn't matter where you live as long as you meet...

Re: PR - same *censored word* couple Ciao!... from your last post I think you have a sound idea on the types of evidences that you can send to demonstrate interdependence.The OP2 manual will have more examples and I suggest you refer to it. Onto your second question, CPC-Mississauga will...

Did your first marriage happened in the Philippines?? I have the impression that it is not because you said your divorce papers are "on its way". If your first marriage DID NOT take place in the Philippines then you can still marry her there.

Wait for your divorce papers then marry her and sponsor her as spouse.

did you check the status in eCAS?

I entered Canada twice also in 4 months but 'twas all fine. When asked what's the purpose of my visit I say I am visiting my partner. No biggie!! =) Questions they ALWAYS ask: 1. Where you from? What do you do there? 2. Purpose of your visit? How long? 3. Where did you meet? (If you say you are...

Re: PR - same *censored word* couple In your case I suggest get a civil-union in France and apply under the common-law category. You should be able to demonstrate however that you have lived together CONTINUOUSLY for at least one full year with no big breaks in between.

Re: PR - same *censored word* couple I haven't read the entire thread but let me share what I know.. :) I am also applying under the conjugal category and as advised by my CCIC who specializes in same-gender immigration, marriage is NOT ESSENTIAL. Spousal, common-law and conjugal applications...

If you may have read my previous posts before, I am applying through the conjugal category with my same-gender partner. I have a multiple entry-visa to Canada so obviously we cannot use immigration barrier as a reason why we cannot get not married. The main reason why we do not intend to marry...

This may be a dumb question but just want to double check to be sure.. I have read somewhere that it doesn't matter which visa office you request to process your application as long as you can go there if they call for an interview! Is this true? My permanent country of residence is the...

OneLuckyCookie, the fast processing of your case really intrigued me. Are you from Germany? If Berlin office processes applications that fast then I think I'm gonna consider mailing my application to Berlin too!! I am a national of the Philippines but live in the United Arab Emirates. From what...

I also think that conjugal application won't work out for you, ginbiscuit. The fact that you have already combined your affairs to some extend but CHOSE not to marry because it's not the right time for you will raise serious concerns. Get married or live together for at least 12 months and apply...

If you are applying under this category you have to prove/explain three things and you better be good at it: 1. Genuineness of the relationship 2. What prevents you from marrying 3. What prevents you from living together for at least 1 year to qualify as common-law I don't know your personal...

Alrighty guys... it's 3 vs. 1 so I guess we'll have to wait 'til April 2010. It's frustrating to wait but as you said it will be all worth it. Thank you all for the input!

I agree with PMM and mitamata... conjugal applications are complicated because IOs can interpret it in different ways... given the fact that OP2 itself gives conflicting statements on how cases like this should be evaluated. You are also right, Toby. No one here in the forum can guarantee the...

Thank you for the response, PMM. We understand how the category works and wouldn't apply through this route if we could go c/law or marry. So your opinion is from the time we actually met. Is this a kind of a fast and hard rule for all relationships?

Yes, as long as you can provide evidence to support this claim.

Hello guys, the OP2 manual says that we must be in a conjugal relationship for at least 1 year before we file for sponsorship. We have several documents to prove that our relationship existed for over a year (13 months to be exact!) but we are not sure know WHEN we should consider the start of...
