actually we have same thing in mind,my situation is complicated, i'm still married in the philippines but separated long time ago, when i applied for PR i included my present gf and our child, unfortunately she got refused and the VO wants to award the PR to my ex wife probably because i did not provide any proof of separation like divorce or separation agreement then they sent me a letter if i don't want my ex wife to include in the app i can sign a waiver the acknowledge the my ex wife is no longer part of the family member. plus me and my present gf/ common-law did not live continuosly for 12 mos, there was 2 months gap in our 1 year living together because i had to go back to canada. i asked for some advice somwhere here in this website and they told me that we're not eligible and our application could get refused so i decided not to continue my application early last year (2015) then i heard two of my friends included their GF in their app as common law and they did not even live in one roof even once. imagine that? they didn't even have a child and one of them included his gf late in the process when he got PPR. then i decided to apply this year though i doubt my PA's eligibility. but we're praying to God that we could get approve.
