Conjugal Sponsorship Without Inability to marry

[21Goose]

So if we did it that way, we could continue life as usual with our weekly visits and then in a year she could move here and begin working right away?

Yes, you can do this.

Alright, fair enough, thank-you. So say we go the spousal sponsorship route. We get married where her family lives. My employment history and current work situation: Is that adequate? Or do I need to wait until I've worked my new full time job for a certain amount of time

Just to make sure that you really understand that your situation is NOT conjugal, here are some example of true conjugal situations:

- a same-sex couple where the foreign partner is refused a TRV to Canada and lives in a country where homosexuality is illegal. There are both immigration and legal barriers preventing the couple from marrying or becoming common-law in Canada or the foreign country.

- when the foreign partner is from the Philppines, can't get a TRV and is married to someone else. Divorce is illegal in the Philippines, as is adultery, so they cannot marry or become common-law there or in Canada.
