Are you originally from the Philippines? If so, you can move there and live with him for a year to become common law and then apply to sponsor him. He can also try applying for a TRV to come to Canada as a visitor and live with you here for a year to qualify as common law.

I am originally from the Philippines but I can’t afford to go back home and live there for 1 year as I am living in Canada with my son from my first marriage. If he apply for TRV what are the requirements? Can I invite him even though we don’t have a child?
