Hi guys, We are in thinking of submitting our common law application as soon as possible. We reached our 1 year cohabitation threshold last Dec 16, 2018 and my partner applied for divorce to his wife who's in the Philippines last Jan 2019. Today he went back to the court (here in Canada) and...

I believe that you must declare though. For the reason that they want to know if you have sponsored someone before. It's better to declare.

Hi there, my partner is in similar situation with his wife in the Philippines. Please help how did you guys proved that they were no longer together without a separation agreement? Please help! We would appreciate it.

As per photo ID. You can go to any Service Canada and get a photo card. The only thing though is if you have a driver's license they will cancel it. You can only have either a photo card or driver's license. This way you can have a photo card with the same address as you. It takes 4-6 weeks to...

Thank you so much guys, for all your input. Very much appreciated!

We are also thingking of getting a letter from the community chairman (in the Phil) who knows both my partner and his ex wife . Because it is only a small community so the chairman knows of what's happening within his jurisdiction. so he's all aware that the two of them have been separated...

Yes, we have filed for his second extension and just waiting for their response. We applied last November but we haven't heard anything as of today. I acquired my 2 bedroom condominium unit 12 years ago so, I cannot put him on the lease/mortgage. But I started taking our monthly condo fee...

Thank you, as for follow up question, do we have to explain why he did not applied a divorce and can we exactly say that we are 100 percent sure that she will contest it? Because I think there's a question on the form that is asking if why we are not married or is there ceremony? And explain why...

Thank you Scylla!

We are living together for almost a year now and I am planning to sponsor my partner as a common law. He is still legally married back in the Philippines (they have been separated since 2012. My question is does he need to file a divorce here in Canada to send it to his wife in the...

Thank you both for your immediate answer.

Query: IMM5532- (Relationship information) PART C asks for circumstance of first meeting. My partner and I met when we were in grade school, we lost contact until we reconnect again on Facebook ( March 2010). We chat until we decided to meet up in person in Sept 2012. My question is which one...

My understanding is you have to live together for a year continuously to apply as a common law. Correct me if I'm wrong Scylla?

I believe so. If we're iliving n the Phili. It would be different.

Thank you so much for your advise! We will try your suggestion. How likely will they give us another extension? We got our first extension because we wrote them a letter, as well as letters from our friends and family who knows about our relationship. Send them our joint bank accounts...

My partner who is married in the Philippines but separated from his ex wife 5 years ago but is now living with me here in Ontario for the last 8 months ( I'm a naturalized Canadian citizen since 1997, never been married). He came here as a visitor. We applied for extension before his visa...

You can send your Income tax assessment from previous year and your husband as well. Also include your Canadian citizenship proof or PR card. Write a letter stating of what the reason why you want her to visit Canada. And make sure that you will tell them that you will shoulder all her...

Show your Income Tax Assestment, if you have a spouse send this as well. Send your Canadian citizenship card or PR card. If you have RRSP Investment it might help. They just want to know that you will be able to support her while she's here. That's what my sister in law did for her Mom.
