Mrs. Mohamed_Hassan,

Very nice to hear from you. Please do not be discouraged. Most forum members are both respectful and helpful and are not hear to judge or offend though sometimes that does (both intentionally and unintentionally happen). We members come here seeking assistance with specific questions/concerns and in communicating learn to help each other navigate this confusing and stressful process. And many, like me, stayed on the forum after completing PR because we received much support and guidance and wish to give back to others. I hope you will continue to use the forum to gather knowledge and experiences that help you through the process.

Regarding my previous post, you may have found the wording confusing. Sorry for that. CIC refers to all marriage-like relationships in the family class as conjugal relationships. Here is a quote from the Processing Manual I referred to earlier "The term 'conjugal' was originally used to describe marriage. Then, over the years, it was expanded by various court decisions to describe “marriage-like” relationships, i.e., a man and a woman in a common-law relationship (Section 5.25)."

What makes this confusing is that within the category of conjugal (or marriage-like) relationships is a category called "conjugal partners" which is separate and distinct from spouses and those who have lived together. So in the category called "conjugal relationships" there are three types of relationships as defined by cic: married spouses, common law partners, and conjugal partners. I hope that better explains the difference and why I referred you to that section of the manual. If you can target your evidence for your spousal application to the things that CIC states they are looking for, I believe you will increase your chances of a successful application.

Please take a look back at my first post and spend some time looking at the section I referenced in the link provided. I am confident you will find it helpful.

Regards, Allison

AllisonVSC:

Thank you very much for your relpy. I have downloaded the manual and have spent (alot) of time reading it to get the idea of it all. It is somewhat confusing but I am sure I will figure it all out.

I supose I will try to fit another trip in to aquire more pictures. Perhaps have a small dinner party or something with his family to get more (usable) pictures also.

I can twist our circumstances to see what may appear (to someone whos job it is to look for) questionable issues. This is what I am most concerned about. I dont want to pool our somewhat limited resoures only to waste them, spend all that time only to be refused. If I can skip all that in the first place I will use the money to move there.

Thank you again for your time and understanding.

hi Mrs Hassan
u welcome yes this manual u need to read it many times until everything is clear; the manual and the guides
as a note: even if u'll have another trip soon (which is good) it will still b recent and the more weight will have the old pictures/proofs, from the first trips
no matter how much u try to twist it the most important is to be honest and don't be afraid to explain the situation, ur circumstances, etc good luck!!

Hi Tabby, generally speaking it is not advisable to post your personal email address in a public forum like this. Hate to say it since I just read your thread and don't want to add to your worry, but giving this information here can make you susceptible to identity theft.

When you have reached 10 posts in the forum you will be able to communicate with other members using private messaging though you will have limited inbox storage for the first little while.
