Same sex conjugal partner PR application refused - 2nd time

[armoured]

Absolutely. And I'm literally flying back and forth to Europe to be able to spend at least a week together every couple of months, which is physically and mentally exhausting as hell.

However, if it comes down to refuse, basically the choice here will be between a long way to potentially achieve the justice (and could take years), or say f- it, get married and be together in Canada in half a year (given that even in our case officer confirmed that the relationship exists and clear).

I want to be together with the woman I love, and honestly I don't care it will force us to get married not as we planned (I proposed already)

That's rough.

I would say I think in all cases that if it's possible to get married, it is the better way to go with spousal. Conjugal really was/is meant for those that cannot get married, for external reasons (ones not under their control)..

I can say - having checked the docs - if you get married and submit the info, they MUST take into consideration the marriage (i.e. will effectively become a spousal sponsorship).

and yes, have done personally

What country, if you don't mind me asking?
We found the one that accepts documents from our country of origin (Russia) as they are, so should not be the issue. Will fly there in November.

If there is no refuse by this time (which I doubt honestly) - of course we will submit the update of our status. Otherwise, I am just preparing the new package of the docs (which is basically the same package with updated marital status, dates, and adding legal marriage details) to submit as soon as we have the certificate in our hands.

Russia! As far as I'm aware other countries of former Soviet Union don't - but have not personally tried them all.

Actually also Canada (provinces I'm aware of, anyway), but that doesn't help you.

But now i do see that much of Europe requires birth certificates (and lots don't do marriages unless one of the partners is a resident).

Yeah, we checked many options and decided to go with Georgia - the simplest by far, and, what's the most important, everything is done in a couple of days.

Russia

LMAO
No way I or my fiance go there to apostille birth certificates - way too dangerous as we are citizens both living in countries that oppose Russia.

Enjoy. Georgia is wonderful.

Understood, of course. I'm a bit surprised getting apostille done not possible through consulate, but I've not had to do anything like that (or at least not in a long time).
