Question about visiting

[Hnhkrk]

I find it a bit too riscful to cancel everything here, like my appartment, benefit etc. Because when I get refused, I have nothing left here. I prefer to wait until I have aproval.

I wonder how strict they are anyway. Are there lots of people who get refused?

I thought the same thing before I did some research only to find out that people don't usually get refused as long as their relationship is genuine, and they pass the medical/background request. When you're married, the CIC's goal is to keep you two together. As long as your sponsor is approved, you're pretty much guaranteed acceptance if none of the above reasons for being declined dont' apply to you.

Okay, that's a relieve.

But we're not married. We're boyfriend and girlfriend. I still have to find out by the way if we are common law partners or conjugal partners (or however it's called). I don't really understand the difference. :-[

Maybe somebody does?

Ah, this changes is a lot in my opinion. Proving that your common-law/conjugal partners seems a lot more complicated in my opinion. From what I can tell, the applications take longer to process and require a LOT more proof. If you don't mind me asking, why don't you just get married?

 

[Hnhkrk]

Oh, and you guys would be common-law partners since you have been living together for over a year and have been sharing bills and responsibilities.

Conjugal partners don't live together for various reasons, but do sleep together and share some bills and responsibilities.

Thanks again for the info. I just couldn't figure out until now what the difference was.

I don't know exactly actually why we didn't decide to get married. We thought it would cost a lot of money. We do want to get married maybe in the future.

Right now we get a lot of financial support from my boyfriends family, so we are really limited with money.
So getting married would probably cost too much.

But we do have a lot of proof that our relationship is genuine and that we have been living together for a year and a half. We also have some other people who want to write something for us to proof that we are a genuine couple. We are just going to do what we can.

My Fiancee just dropped off the application at the courthouse yesterday, and the fees totaled around $294. We have to wait two months to have the courthouse ceremony, and then we'll be husband and wife. I really suggest looking into it.

 

[Remrov]

We look into it.
Thanks for the info!
