Please can u suggest me any cheaper college, as the fees is around 12000 - 13000 $ for PGS of almost all colleges.


Your reply in this regard would be highly appreciated .
Thanks in advance

Thanks to all who took time to reply to my issue. I know it's hard to turn the negatives of my case but i'm still going to try. Thanks Steph C for making it lighter for me. On the other hand, is it more logic if i bring him here on tourist or student visa so we can cohabit for 1 year and sponsor him as common law instead? I don't know but I'm so desperate...

Yes - you can certainly try one of these routes instead. Note that it's often quite difficult to be approved for a tourist visa from the Philippines. But by all means try.

To be approved for a student visa, you first need to be accepted by a school in Canada. You must then apply for a student visa and as part of this process demonstrate you have sufficient funds to pay for your accommodation and education. (What this practically means is that you must show a bank balance that covers first year tuition + $10K for living expenses + $2-3K for travel expenses). Note that foreign students pay substantially higher tuition fees than domestic students.

For both of the above visas to be approved, you must demonstrate that you have strong ties to your home country and have no plans to remain in Canada long term.

Not wanting to give up a job isn't a barrier. You need to stick to cohabitation is illegal.

Frankly, the whole husband left right away and I want to bring a new bf sounds very suspicious.

You're right - if you look at the OP's previous posts, you'll see she and her husband separated before landing but didn't tell CIC so as not to jeopardize their PR visas. She has previously received advice on this forum on how to prevent CIC finding out the truth about that (i.e. she was told to fudge the date she resumed her relationship with her boyfriend). I've never understood why long-time posters provide this type of "how to get around the rules" advice to newcomers. Just because you have the knowledge doesn't mean you should share it. Isn't there something wrong with helping people lie to CIC to get PR for themselves or their family?

Well in that case her own PR status is in jeopardy for misrepresenting her status during landing.
 
Well, it was only me and my husband who knew how well or bad we were to each other when we landed, and I don't wanna go deeper than that. Call it jeopardy maybe but how unfair would it be that someone like me who stayed good in this country and paying good taxes to the government will be investigated due to misrepresentation? Are you suggesting that I should have told them the truth? Shall I really do it now? I DON'T THINK SO, co'z I'm just an ordinary person who wants to be united with my love one. This is just the toughest of my times. And I thought Canada encourages REUNIFICATION as they call it. Can anyone tell me now what to do? Should I get Tourist, or Student or Conjugal Partner Visa for my boyfriend? Let's move on, I didn't control what happened to me and my husband just before we landed, I want to be happy now, that's it! Thank you!
 
I understand you want to move on. But what you did when you originally landed impacts anything you do going forward from an immigration perspective. So discussing it can't really be avoided.

Misrepresentation has nothing to do with what you've done since you've entered the country. It's all about what you did to get into the country in the first place. If you lied / misrepresented the facts to gain status in Canada - your PR status is at risk. If you submit a conjugal application, this will bring focus back onto you, your old marriage, your original PR application, and your relationship with your new partner. CIC is going to look at all of that information again in detail. If CIC thinks there's anything suspicious about your situation - there's always a chance they could investigate. How big a chance none of us can say.

I think it's really up to you to decide what you do. In my opinion there's no clear or easy answer. I think your chances of succeeding with conjugal are very low. I think the chances of a tourist visa being approved are also low (but you can certainly try). The chances of a student visa being approved are probably a bit higher than a tourist visa - but this is an expensive option.
 
Thanks Scylla. I will always be noted by your advice. I've got to know a lot of angles where and how to start.
