Really need help, is it possible for me to marry here in Canada even if I am married in Philippines? My ex-husband s also here but he commit adultery. We did not declare we are married when we come here in Canada all our documents even in Taiwan are all single. Do I need to file a divorce here even if we are not recognized as married here? If I need to file a divorce how much would it cost and how long would it take?

no it is not possible and this is called misrepresentation you will be deported from canada nad banned for at least two years....we do not need cheaters in my great canada.
Hi Gretchsash,
are you seriously asking this question
common-law when you are already married is as worse as your first idea of marrying here while you have a husband back in the philippines.
yes i have an option for you,why don't you apply for PR on a legitimate way just like all honest people wishing to immigrate to canada does...there is plenty of economic immigration programs that applicants can chose from.
if you do not qualify for any of those programs then forget about canada,its not like you must become pr to survive.

Bcoz my situations r very complicated, I work in a restaurant bfore in Winnipeg and I moved here in ontario and want to apply as nanny but I am not under live-in caregiver so, I'm thinking marry s the solution. How can I apply PR?
A person can still be married and also be in a Common-Law relationship...and CIC will accept the PR application for sponsorship.
As long as the marriage has `broken down', meaning that the couple is no longer living together, or engaging as a married couple (for at least 1 year), it's allowed.

Hi Ponga,
i don't know where you got that from how can a person be married and in a common-law relationship?tell me
what you said means you can have a wife and a girlfriend on the same time....huh how is that possible,this is not logical and will not make sense to anyone.
a broken down marriage means the couple are separated for a year this is mandatory in canada before they can start the divorce process.
the OP here is married and she has no intentions to leave her husband for good she is just trying to cheat the system so she can get a pr,i clearly said in one of my posts this is not legal and not allowed.

5.38 What happens if the common-law partner (principal applicant) is married to another person?
Persons who are married to third parties may be considered common-law partners provided their marriage has broken down and they have lived separate and apart from the spouse for long enough to establish a common-law relationship–at least one year. In this case they must have cohabited in a conjugal relationship with the common-law partner for at least one year. Cohabitation with a common-law partner cannot be considered to have started until a physical separation from the spouse has occurred. A common-law relationship cannot be legally established if one or both parties continue their marital relationships.
Officers must be satisfied that a principal applicant is separated from and no longer cohabits with a legal spouse. This evidence may be in the form of a signed formal declaration that the marriage has ended and that the person has entered into a common-law relationship. An officer may require that the person produce other written evidence of a formal separation or of a breakdown of the marriage. Acceptable documents include a separation agreement, a court order in respect of custody of children identifying the fact of the marriage breakdown, documents removing the legally married spouse(s) from insurance policies or will as beneficiaries (a “change of beneficiary” form).
In the above circumstances, the legal spouse of the principal applicant need not be examined and will not be considered a member of the family class if the applicant later attempts to sponsor this spouse. [See R117(9)(d)]. Notes in CAIPS should indicate that the applicant was aware of the consequences of non-examination.
I really don't understand what you are trying to do.Gretchsash said:
What is your current status in Canada? Who do you want to be common-law with, your ex-husband who you never claimed you were married to and who cheated on you? Is he even a PR of Canada?
Or are you looking to find a Canadian now that you can become common-law with, just to apply for PR?
You can be married and in a common law relationship if for example your spouse takes off on you and you are unable to divorce them because you can't find them or you separate amicably but you come from a country like the Philippines where you can't get divorced because it's not allowed. In the meantime, you meet someone else and start living with that person.canadavisa13 said:
Immigration will accept your new relationship as a common law partnership and therefore good for immigration as long as your marriage has broken down and you have lived with your new common law partner for at least 12 months. They would not accept it if you are living with both at the same time.
The OP is in trouble because she lied on her application and did not disclose that she was married. For the life of me, I don't know why people lie about unimportant details on their application forms which don't even matter for getting a visa but can get them booted out of Canada later on because they committed misrepresentation.
Quretion is, how can she file a divorce here in canada if she declared shes single?
