Common Law is Married in Philippines but already seperated withex-wife

[Miletski05]

Hi, I just need your help.. Here's the scenario:
My boyfriend was nominated by his wife as Provincial Nominee last Sept 2012. However, they are married here on the Philippines and we do not have any divorce. They already filed for divorce in Canada and once the papers come out and finally divorced in Canada, he is planning to get me under Common Law sponsorship. We need help or clarification if that is possible since under the Philippine Law he is still married. We need help as to what options we have.

Thank you in advance.

even if he is divorced in Canada his status is still married sa Pinas therefore he can't sponsor you for common law unless you're aready here but since you are not you have to look for other options maybe FSW, Express Entry or Student Visa

If you can live together with him for 12 consecutive months, only then will you become common-law.

Else if he gets a legal divorce from Canada, then you could marry him in a country other than Philippines.
