Hi I am a Filipina with 14months relationship with my partner who is currently living and working in Canada (PR status). We are planning to apply for Conjugal visa with barrier that I am still legally married and divorce is not yet legal in the Philippines and so as same sex marriage. Even if we wanted her to go back home here in the Philippine to become a common law partner adultery is also illegal here.

Then we think that we qualified to apply for conjugal visa program, We can provide documents to prove that our relationship is genuine (letters, cards, screenshots of our conversations and call logs, Photos during her vacation in the Philippines, tickets and photos of our travels, gifts to each other, remittance receipts , 2 balikbayan boxes receipts, copy of our joint account ere in the Philippines, copy of the special power of attorney that allowing me act on her behalf for the Condominium unit that she bought years ago, attestation letters from our family and friends, proof that I am her beneficiary of her insurance in Canada.


Are we on the right track? what is our chance of approval to the conjugal visa? our should we get any other kind of program instead? please let me know what is your insight regarding this.

Thank you for your answers in advanced :)

Your evidence of relationship is all very good. What nationality is your partner ? How long has he/she lived in Canada? Have you applied for a canada TRV? You seem to have quite a few assets so maybe you'd get approved for a TRV.

She's from the Philippines too, she's been working in Canada for 10 years now and she's starting to process her citizenship. No I have not try to apply for TRV yet because they say we need to have a large amount of money in the bank to qualify. my partner owns property and I don't have much I am just a regular employee here in the Philippines but in a Canadian company (Philippine base).

You think that I need to try TRV first than to process conjugal? or we have a good standing if we process conjugal without trying the TRV?

If your TRV gets rejected that will strengthen your immigration barrier. It's not necessary but conjugal does state u need to have an immigration barrier. Maybe speak to an immigration lawyer and get their opinion if u should apply for a TRV or not bother. C what they say

You 100% need to apply for a TRV. If approved, you have no immigration barrier preventing you from coming to Canada and becoming common-law.

If you don't apply for a TRV, you cannot prove an immigration barrier preventing you from coming to Canada and a conjugal app would be refused.

Totally agree but if she gets a TRV that will negate their conjugal process. What kind of PR would they then apply for? Can they get married in canada even though one is already married in Philippines ? Or would they have to go down the common law path? Common law is 12 month co-habitation would her TRV be valid long enough to allow them to love together in Canada for 12 months?

Common-law. It is quite simple to apply for an extension to meet the one year cohabitation requirement.

Just to answer this question. Once you are in Canada for a year , you can get a divorce in Canada, recognized by the Canadian government. You can then get married in Canada and do a sponsorship that way as well. The divorce will not be recognized in the Philippines, but who cares about that.
