Conjugal

[armoured]

Is this conjugal or is this spousal application for PR? I am so confused.
Will the video and other material aforementioned help?
Please help!

My gut reaction is to apply under conjugal, provide an explanation letter of the situation and that there are no marriage documents available, but you believe you meet the test for conjugal.

Then try your hardest to get the marriage documents, or a copy, or something. I mean, in most countries, you can get a copy from the civil registry or authorities, but I assume you have thought of that.

The thing is, the marriage clerk himself destroyed the document. He is a religious person and did not agree with the marriage after seeing the my birth certificate. So, there is nothing registered anywhere. I can re-marry her to get the docs but we are so afraid of them finding out and forcing her to into another marriage or maybe physical abuse.

from the video and photos, we are recorded when saying we agree to marrying and signing the marriage papers and so do 2 other people. I wish I had that document. :-(

Well I'll be interested to hear the opinions of others on this case.

But given the situation I'd go with the conjugal app and explain this all. I'd make the argument that the marriage did not legally happen if papers were destroyed by the clerk. The rest of the evidence is in support that there was a desire to be married by you two - and actual actions - but you were prevented from doing so.

While i can't guarantee, I think this is in some respects the type of situation for which the conjugal app type was established. And I should hope iRCC staff analyzing the situation would be sympathetic.

You're not the first person to have had parents and family who do not approve, on religious or other grounds. Just make sure to explain everything, and document what you can.

(While you can and should of course provide the background about the gender aspect, I don't think you need to spend a lot of time on that. Just be factual. The core of the story is parents and society [in the person of the clerk] disapprove.)

Another quick question. Where do the Conjugal applications for outland Principal Applicants process? The reason why I am asking is conjugal relationship is not considered a valid relationship in the country where processing office is based for the country of PA's origin. Does that effect it?
I have also searched on the web but only got the results for Spousal and Common Law which is processes in CPC-M.

You're overthinking. Conjugal has nothing to do with the country of origin or its definition of relationships. It is a made-up thing for IRCC purposes.

If you have concern about it being handled in country office, just write about that in your letter based on your concern about religious discrimination.
