    HELP!! CONJUGAL PARTNER SPONSORSHIP

    I understand the issues perfectly and have researched this type of application extensively. I think they have to focus on becoming common law partners. To do that in Canada, she is going to have to have to try again to stay 6 months and then extend. He will most likely have to have some visits...

    HELP!! CONJUGAL PARTNER SPONSORSHIP

    You do not have to get married to get the PR despite others advice here. You will have to demonstrate that you have been unable to live together as common law partners. i do not believe the conjugal partner route is impossible for M-F partners if the circumstances are right and you can support a...

    I read somewhere that a VO can allow an extension if the medical is within 15 months. On the CIC site the original bulletin allowing this has been superseded. That doesn't mean this has changed. I am interested too because our medical was done July 8, 2014 and our conditional CoPR allows us...

    No savings and a senior citizen from the Philippines got a 5 years visitors visa

    the 5 year visa means she will not have to reapply for a visitor visa until her passport expires. as a visitor she is still only allowed to visit for 6 months from date of entry, just like anyone else from a visa exempt country. yes, for any visitor you should buy medical insurance before the...

    Manila Tread for English Speakers - join here!

    I have a question regarding the CFO requirements. A little background. My partner had been in Canada since November on a TRV and we returned to Phils together in April, me for 2 week vacation. We immediately applied for another TRV, hoping to get a multiple-entry so that we could return to...

    The P550 terminal fee is gone now since February if you are departing from Manila. This is for tickets purchased after February departing out of Manila only. It is included in price of ticket I believe. http://www.silent-gardens.com/blog/no-naia-terminal-fee/

    We got passport request yesterday and what looks to be conditional CoPR. My partner received TRV last week so will travel to Canada and then we will submit passport to Ottawa. Here's the wording: We are pleased to inform you that your Visa and/or Confirmation of Permanent Residence to Canada...

    TRV while sponsorship in process

    I don't think ties are so important if you have applied for PR. My partner was denied TRV 4x before we made PR application. As soon as we received confirmation that PR received, we applied again and wrote in the letter specifically that we acknowledged my partners ties were weak and that the PR...

    I MET MY CONJUGAL PARTNER ONLINE

    I am not so sure. I read the manual recently and I believe it says that if circumstances change and you notify them of the change, the VO should make the change and continue the current application with the revised circumstance. Could be conjugal to married, common-law to married, or conjugal...

    I MET MY CONJUGAL PARTNER ONLINE

    In the invite we had 8 weeks I believe. We booked the return ticket to match exactly the dates in the application, although that was probably overkill. A few days before she was due to return (and no passport request or progress on the PR), we changed the return date for 3 months longer. We...

    scylla is correct. The Visa will have a valid period, but that is the period by which you have to enter Canada and that is generally 6 months for a V1 single-entry visa. It allows only one entry before the visa expiry date. When your visitor arrives in Canada, their passport will be stamped...

    I MET MY CONJUGAL PARTNER ONLINE

    I just read your first post over again. There is no question that you should apply for the TRV right away. If you are successful, you will know in 24-48 hours and have the visa in less than a week. A PR application? Who knows? maybe 18 months to even consider a conjugal application.

    canadalover4987, I am in a similar situation to yours. We met first online in 2011 and in person in 2013 when i traveled to Philippines as part of an Asia vacation. We applied and were refused TRVs 4 times in 2014 and I traveled to the Philippines twice more during that time frame. For each...

    I am not sure why you want the GCMS notes when you have just received SA. Usually one orders notes when something has been denied so that they are better able to address any issues when re-applying or appealing. In your case the assessment of your spouse may not even be started. I understand...
