Conjugal Partner

[Jaybee43]

It is clearly stated by IRCC that employment is not a valid reason preventing a couple from living together.

Your partner is legally married and lives in a country where divorce AND adultery are both illegal, so you obviously have a legal barrier preventing you from going to live with her to become common-law. Completely different from the OP.

So because she lives in a country where divorce is not possible ircc will waive the requirement for me to quit my job and go there to become common law ?

Don’t take it too literally about having to quit a job. You and your partner had a legal uncontrollable barrier. Whether you quit your job or not, your legal barrier is there.

The OP does not have the same barrier. Theirs is fully controllable.

The legal barrier to becoming common-law is the fact that adultery is illegal in her country.

Ircc cant force u to leave your job just to become common law for the purpose of a conjugal relationship. My case was accepted as conjugal. Ircc never told me to quit my job and move to the Philippines to become common law. Nothing was even mentioned to that effect

Thanks for your reply, I will also go ahead with my Conjugal application as we currently cannot get married in his country due to them not recognize same-sex marriages/relationships & his application for tourist visa to Canada was not accepted. I've also looked into a long term visa stay for his country and after reading the prerequisite I does not look like I will qualify

If there are serious legal barriers to living together as common-law/getting married, then it will be accepted. If not, your application will be rejected.

Remember the main key to a conjugal relationship is "marriage like relationship"
Do you have any joint bank accounts/credit cards?
Any property owned together ? Ie: property/house?
Do either of you have listed as a beneficiary for life insurance or pension benefits?
Anyway those are examples that you'll probably be asked of. So good luck to u both!

From my understanding and I looked into opening a joint bank account but he needs to present at the bank in order to do so

I did add him as a beneficiary to my insurance

These are things that definately help the application but not a requirement

Once I'm ready to send my application is it better to send by Purolator or just Canada Post?

Do the birth certificate & police report need to be translated? They are currently in Spanish

Yes. The CIC online help clearly says anything not in either English or French needs to be translated.

Perfect and I imagine this also goes for the relationship support letters?

Ex: His sister will write one as she's met me on a few occasions but she only knows Spanish does it have to be certified translation as well?

EVERYTHING you send as attachments or evidence MUST be either in English or French or translated by a certified translator into either English or French.

Spanish is not one of the official languages in Canada , it must be in either English or French, the official languages
