Fiance visa/Sex same marriage

[LadyboyClaire03]

Hi there. Good morning, I just saw this forum and i get attracted to share mine. I also have the same problem. I was denied from the tourist visa for 2 weeks vacation last year due to that i don't have any ties here in the Philippines but i have an sponsor from there he's citizen in Canada. He sponsored me from all expenses. I paid something 8500 php in the agency just to support and guide me from what we have to do as it was my first time. We've actually have been told of the owner of the agency that its 50/50 as i don't have strong files to allow me to get there in Canada but that time me and my boyfriend canadian have decided to send the files even though we know that it will be denied. I am sharing this to you bcoz since that i was denied my boyfriend canadian been so sad and depressed from it. I have been sad and depressed too as i made up my mind being with him so much there, he said to me that he will show me the city where he lives and to meet his family and friends as he already told them that me his girlfriend will meet them soon. I just want to ask that if ever we will try it again what is the best thing we have to do to make it this time to allow me to get there in canada? Is there any fiance visa for sex same marriage in canada embassy this time just like US embassy in this link http: //gmane.ws/1kj8h9u ? Please look at that link sir/ma'am.

I hope to hear from you soon. God bless.

Aya.

unfortunately there's no fiancee visa in Canada but same sex marriage is allowed here, in the US some states allowed to have same sex marriage as well but not all...

You re-apply again though...

Canada does not have a fiancé visa. There used to be something like that, but they got rid of it. The Canadian government decided that they didn't want the job of deciding whose relationship was going to be permanent and whose wasn't, so you have to already be in a permanent relationship before you apply and you need hard evidence to prove that you are.

For a temporary resident visa (TRV), you would need to be able to satisfy whichever officer looked at your file that would definitely return to the Philippines when your visa expired and wouldn't just stay in Canada. If you have no reason why you have to be in the Philippines, that's bad, and if they know that you're in a relationship with a Canadian, that's even worse because you'd have even more reason to want to just stay in Canada. In any case, you can't lie to them about being in a relationship with a Canadian, because lying is what they hate more than anything. You could be blocked from visiting Canada at all for up to two years if they discover that you've been lying.

In order to apply to be a permanent resident (PR) sponsored by a spouse/partner you either have to be married or to have to be in another marriage-like ("conjugal") relationship, so there are 3 categories:

1) A marriage: As with the other categories, you have to prove that you didn't just get married so you could immigrate. If you are not able to travel to a plan where same-sex marriages are legal, this one may not be a possibility.

2) A common-law partnership: For most Canadian laws, this is treated the same way as a marriage is. For PR, you need to live together in a marriage-like arrangement for at least one year before you can qualify. If you can't get a visa to visit Canada (at the most they would give you is 6 months, probably less, and you probably can't extend it for a whole year), then the only way to do this would be for your boyfriend to go to the Philippines for a year, but I think 59 days is the maximum for a tourist.

3) A conjugal partnership: This is sort of a long-distance common law partnership. It can be a bit tricky to prove because you need to show that you have made a permanent commitment to each other (at least one year ago) and are living as a married couple would, to the extent that it's possible to live as a married couple while being physically separated. You would need to show that you were prevented from getting married or fulfilling the requirements of a common-law partnership, because you were denied long-term visas, etc. You probably would have a good shot at this, provided that you meet most of the criteria for a conjugal relationship. See my post here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/spousal-sponsorship-t46995.0.html;msg357830#msg357830. The two other two posts just above it may also be slightly relevant.

I have known him for 3 years now and he been visited me here twice and he will be visiting me again this year soon. I think the only problem for me i can see is having no any ties here in the Philippines that's why i was denied for visiting Canada for 2 weeks? What you think so?

By the way i have already read your link post about conjugal partnership and i will send it to him.
