Can someone help me please.... My husband is waiting for his LMO and i wanted to accompany him in canada...The problem is he was married in 1995 and we got married 2004....The annulment is on process now...My question is if we apply as a couple ( married ) and get successful in going in canada...Is it ok if he declares me as his spouse even though the annulment is on process. I read from different post that we can only have problem once applying for a PR which is 6 months after landing in canada? What if before applying a PR we already have a copy of the court in the philippine declaring the marriage is already annulled? Is it ok? or we still have a problem in applying a PR..

He has a child on his first wife and to me also ...from the birth certificate of the 2 children CIC will see the date of marriage. but if the first marriage is annulled is there any possibility he can be granted a PR or the CIC will question the marriage even the first is annulled?Coz in Phil. law our marriage is void and null since he is married in 1995 and we in 2004. or its better we apply as common law?

Thank you and will appreciated all your suggestions....
 
In the eyes of CIC, your marriage isn't legal because you married before his first marriage was annulled. You cannot marry someone who is still married. So from CIC's standpoint, you are not his wife. Apply as common law.
 
i have a friend in canada and we have the same situation she was married twice. She is now filling of her PR and the embassy noticed that the marriage indicated in the birth certification of their child was different. The embassy ask them to produce an annulment so she is not yet annulled and she is in canada...the thing they do is to file for a divorce and now their papers are on hold and waiting for the divorce paper to be released coz thats the only thing the embassy asking for them and annulment or divorce paper of the first marriage... is there a possibility their application be denied...but in our situation we already have a court order of the annulment when we are filing for our PR. if we marry in canada coz his first marriage was annulled would it be easier?..thanks for the reply
