Hi Guys,



I have applied for my Pr in Family Class, My wife sponsored me, she is a PR holder in Canada. But basically she is from Pakistan.My application was refused because my wife had a previous marriage and according to ND immigration the divorce papaer she has is not proper so from that point our marriage is not also invalid.

So they suggested to get the proper paper by applying for Divorce and then remarry in India. After that submit a new application. But for that need her x husband to signature which is not possible because we dont know where he is right now. Not at least in Pakistan. They had this divorce in 2007 in Pakistan since then they are living separately.

If we dont cant file the new divorce then we can remarry and apply as spousal sponsorship.

So I decided to apply as a conjugal partner,

Because:

1) I lived with her in Canada before but because of my Interview I came to India and since then I am stuck.

2) we lived together 15 months consecutively and all total 19 months.

3) Due to immigration barrier I am stuck here

4) We can not remarry unless she gets the divorce but we can not trace her husband

So my question is

Do you think thtat we are doing the thing to reapply as Conjugal Partner?

How long have you been apart? If it's been less than a year, you should still qualify as common-law partners, as long as you have the documentation to prove that you lived together for those 15 consecutive months. From everything I've heard, you should have a much better shot at common-law than conjugal, assuming you still qualify.

Is that mean for commonlaw we dont need the divorce certificate of my wife from her previous relationship. Because we dont have the proper file and there is no way to get it. But she is separate for 5 years.

 

[couteausnob]

She still needs to provide some sort of proof of the dissolution of her marriage, but it doesn't have to be a divorce certificate. The CIC forms are a bit confusing because spouses, common-law partners, and conjugal partners all share the same immigration forms, but you can have a common-law partner while still legally married to someone else, as long as that marriage has completely broken down. You just can't have more than one common-law partner or more than one spouse at the same time.

How I can proove that they are living separate for that 5 years , how people used to show this separation

Hello. I am now ready to sponsor my bf for 6 years but I am quite confused if I should sponsor him under commonlaw or conjugal. Here is my situation

Philippine citizen divorced here in Canada.
Bf is in the Philippines and Single.
I live with him everytime I go for vacation in the philippines that is a month or 2 every year.
We have joint savings account.
We both have our names in lease contract of his apartment.
We have proof of same address.
The only reason I can not marry him is because My divorce here in canada is not acknowledged in the philippines( have to go to court and wait for about a year or 2 to have it acknowledged by our court and needing a huge amount of money for that)

I am quite confused because it says in commonlaw I have to live with him for atleast 12 months which I can not do that coz I am working here in canada.

Pls Advice
Thank you

If she is in Canada, she can get a divorce here and not need her ex-husband's signature though. So my assumption is that conjugal won't work because she IS able to get a divorce from what I know of the law here. She will need to try to serve him, but if she is not able to find him, then she will have to explain that. But she doesn't need his signature.

Hi

You do not qualify as common-law. Provided your partner has been refused a TRV and therefore you cannot marry in Canada, you have a valid case for conjugal.

I did not apply for a TRV for him as we are looking into either commonlaw or conjugal. Should I try TRV first?

Thank you

You must. If he doesn't show he was refused a TRV, you can't show that there is an immigration barrier preventing you from marrying in Canada.

If he is approved for the TRV, then you can either marry or become common-law.
