You need to either be married or have lived continuously in a common law relationship for one year to apply for Family sponsorship.

But we dont need to live together, I mean, We dont need to live in the same house because in many cases it is impossible.
In my case for example it is not because I dont want to quite my job or He doesnt want to quite His job and live in Brazil the reason is I have a kid that lives with me in Brazil and we cant go to Canada, He has to study and we cant pay CAD 10 k year for his studies plus ask for a study visa doesnt make sense and the same for my partner He has 2 kids for the privious relationalship, He cant abandon His childreen.

We are together for more than 1 year and trying to apply for the sponsorship outside once we cant be together , in fact we really try because it already cost in one year and half 5 tickets to Brazil and me 1 ticket to Canada.

conjugal partner :

you have had a conjugal relationship with your sponsor for at least one year and you could not live together or marry because of :

you can prove there was a reason you could not live together .

Unquote.

My prove is my son , He is studyng ( He is a minor and He is intending to immigrate with me), and I have His custody so I cannot leave my son and decide to move to Canada.

You cannot apply as conjugal because there are no hard legal barriers to you either getting married or establishing common-law. The only way you can apply for PR is if you are either married or common-law.

I agree with Decoy. A conjugal app is doomed for refusal.

While your situation is difficult and understandable why you aren't living together there is no legal barrier such as an immigration barrier or barrier preventing a marriage, and thus, you don't qualify as conjugal partners as CIC defines it.

i am not a CiC official, but if you apply conjugal and your reason for not living together is that you both don't want to quit your jobs, then the relationship doesn't hold enough ground to make you both sacrifice your jobs.

My advice: if your are still very interested in the relationship, something is got to give. Either he moves over, u get married and then u apply. That way , you both know that you just have to wait until the PR is approved and then u can move to canada.
 
Updated the dates in the spreadsheet. Although not entirely sure I've done it correct... Which stage am I at now?

Ecas says:

1)We received application for permanent residence on April 6, 2016.
2)We started processing James Iain Box's application on June 20, 2016.
3)Medical results have been received.

No AOR2 received yet. Is this the In Process or Third line part?

I understand that the barrier is my son. He has to study Here in Brazil, He has to finish the school( it is mandatory here in Brazil) and if we ( my son and I ) move to Canada , my son can not study , He has to wait around 17 months to receive a permission for study. When we apply sponsorship inside He can't allowed to study ! This is the point....of course if He could study I would go tomorrow.

Once you are a PR of Canada, your son could attend school here immediately. Canada will not prevent you from registering your child in school.

Either way, you will have to live with your boyfriend for a year to qualify as common law or get married to be sponsored to Canada.

Am sorry...am not judgemental but so honest....your intentions seem to come to canada but dont want to be with your bf nor getting married to him....but you can always give a try applying congugal on the basis of what you think is best for you
