Thanks for the information so far everyone. Yes, I am aware of the 1-year count. Yup, we are/will be (until we complete the 1-year requirement) living in one place. We are aiming to get a tourist visa to the United States to get married. Elsewhere, our only concern is safety as we will be...

sorry, incomplete info... she has told her mother that she works at another site for the four days. she has not told her mother about us :P but everyone else basically knows. we live in a fairly small neighborhood, and even those people we don't know personally, knows us by face... the 7-11...

We started the four days now because she has told her mother. I was asking about the Thursdays because I am not sure whether to include that in our 1-year count. Rest assured I am not lying. However, there are facts of life like children, like the cultural, social and traditional ties to our...

We are listed as residents in the condominium. Actually, our strongest evidence is that we are "fixtures" there. We are known by everyone as a couple. As a matter of fact, and I must say, sadly, it seems it is only with our families that we are not "out". We are even known as a couple at work...

Hi, My same-gender partner lives with me four days a week. The other days she as at her mother's house to care for her kids. Our finances are joint and I ultimately I share support of her children because I earn more. Our relationship is secret from her mother who cares for her children. We...

I see, so Immigration will not consider cultural and financial barriers to fully living together? Sorry, I failed to mention that I realize that the Common-Law and Conjugal Partner category requires 1 full year.

Hi, About a year or so ago I went into this forum to get advice for my immigration options for my same-sex partner. The only option for us then was to live as a common-law couple as she could not get a TRV to visit Canada and get married there. I gave up my job in Canada and went to the...

we are in a marriage like relationship

on second trv application, will write their names, not sure of DOB? will this affect application? does it need to be explained with the application for trv?

Thanks. We don't intent to marry "later". We want to, but it is not possible in the Philippines. It is possible in Canada, but she doesn't have a tourist visa. We are going to apply for one, though she has been denied before when her mother invited her to visit. Her mother is in another city in...

Actually we want to marry and there lies the difficulty. She needs to come here for that, but we are not confident she will get a visitor's visa. We will try though.

congratulations to you... ang partner mo ba ay filipino din?

Hi, I am in a F to F relationship. My partner is from the Philippines and it will be difficult for her to get a tourist visa to Canada so we can marry. Our plan is to live in Canada. I have a home which I am still paying for and where we plan to reside so I cannot stay in the Philippines for a...

Someone told me that because we share the same citizenship (I am Filipino/Canadian), then we won't be approved as Conjugal Partners because there is not an immigration impediment in the Philippines, is this true? (Though technically, I am not anymore a Philippine citizen as I have not taken the...

Thanks, really considering that. Just goes to show majority of those consulatns/lawyers don't have a clue... They keep throwing the idea of "Spain" around... but there you need to own property to marry! "MARRIAGE FORMALITIES IN SPAIN Civil and religious (Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and...

frapii thank you for sharing our experience... are you filipino/canadian?

Someone told me that because we share the same citizenship (I am Filipino/Canadian), then we won't be approved as Conjugal Partners because there is not an immigration impediment in the Philippines, is this true? (Though technically, I am not anymore a Philippine citizen as I have not taken the...

Great to know that... I suspected that the lawyer I e-mailed has outdated (and probably quoted) information: "You are in a bit of the difficult situation as you already know. You cannot sponsor your same-sex partner unless you are married or have been living in a common-law relationship for 12...

yup considering that... only that it is difficult for my partner (philippine citizen) to get approved for visas... as countries often fear economic migration. however, we plan to try that too. thanks! what countries do you know allow foreign couples to marry? as far as i know, besides canada...

Hi, I would like some advice on my situation: I am a lesbian with a partner, we want to marry. However, it might be difficult for her to get a visa to Canada. We are aware of the common law option, where I can move to the Philippines for a year. However, this will force me to sell my home...
