My common law partner is an international student in Canada & I’m from the Philippines. I applied for Common Law Open Work Permit last Jan 19, 2019. Got my biometrics on jan 24th, then medical exam last February 6. CIC requested for police clearance so I requested for a new one & will be released on the 14th of February. Last February 8, I checked my cic account and to my surprise, medical exam passed! After fee mins, I received an email & checked again my coc account & saw the decision was finally made. I did not pass any police clearance yet, deadline as seen in my account is February 15. I got refused for the following reasons:
1. I am not satisfied the declared relationship meets the definition of common law as defined in R1 (1) IRPR
2. You are not eligible for an OWP
- you are found inadmissible to Canada under section 39 of the IRPA: you are or will be unable or unwilling to support yourself or any other person who is dependent on you and have not satisfied an officer that adequate arrangements for care and support other that those that involve social assistance, have been made.
I do not submit any proof of funds for I did not see it in the checklist. I thought the proof of funds shown by my partner is enough to support me. We also do not have any property named by us & joint bank account for we value privacy in money. We are together for almost 7yrs already. We are staying in his parent’s house because his parents are in abroad.
What other documents can we show? We already submitted copy of our Affidavit of Cohabitation. Notarized. I just feel so sad that my visa got refused.
