I'm curious.. You appear to be from the same country. Is this correct? If so, what is the barrier to becoming common-law, assuming that you don't broadcast the fact to the general public?

Yes,i was from philippines.but now im in canada since 2013.i am a live-caregiver when we are in a relationship.i wont be able to stay in philippines for a longer period of time because i am working here in canada.

However, in theory, you could return to the Philippines and establish common-law status without any immigration barrier, if you choose to?

 

[Jieanne]

Yes,i can do that but everything will be sacrifice.my job,and financially.

Hmm.. I suspect that you might be right on the edge of eligibility for a conjugal partner application, if not actually ineligible.

Let's see what others think, especially those with specialist knowledge of the Philippines...

 

[Jieanne]

Thank you for the answer and time

Has she tried applying for a TRV to come to Canada so that you can either get married or become common law. If not - that's the first thing she needs to do. Don't apply for sponsorship until she tries to obtain a TRV.

Agreed you have a big of a difficult case since there's nothing stopping you from moving to the Philippines to become common law.

Sorry,i dont have any idea about TRV.but thank you for telling me im gonna prepare her application for that.but way back in 2015 when i submit my application for my PR i include her as my spouse but they decline her.

TRV is a tourist visa. She needs to apply for a tourist visa and see what the results are before you apply for PR. Without attempting a TRV application, your conjugal application will be a great deal harder to prove.

How long the processing for TRV?and documents that we need for applying?

Processing can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Information about what documents are required can be found below. Also recommend you spend some time reading through the discussions in the Visitors section of the forum.

Hi @Jieanne . I have applied for conjugal sponsorship too and we are from the philippines. We have been together for 5 years. We tried for TRV first and was denied. It is a very good proof of immigration barrier because atleast she tried any means to come here. We sent our application last May 16 2018 . Got our AOR June 21 . Sponsorship approval June 27 . Medical request June 27 . Medical done July 3 . Medical passed July 5 . File transfer to manila July 5 . Now we are waiting for background check.

If you have questions. You can message me it will be nice to have someone to talk to in regards of the application.
