Conyugar partner MONTREAL

[Joselarita]

Hello, this forum its been very good for me to know everything,

My question is that my boyfriend and me are going to start the process for a sponsoship, we have pics, letters from his family who knows that we were living together in their house and everything, i had a holidays permit to work here thats why we meet, for his familly actually his uncle its my friend and introduced us, its been complicated in the fact of permits, we know that we will need to go to an enterview because im from mexico, we are not married and we really dont want to get marry cuz of that, like in a rush!, i have been reading that there is a lot of cases that are refused, im scared cuz i dunno what kinf of Proofs can helps us more, we decided to buy something but the next year thats why we were living with his familly, so we dont have a property together, or all those proofs, i will open a bank account for both this week... and we never spect that my extend work permit was going to be refused cuz the LMO, so as you see i have been living with the permits process all this time and been refused...

What kind of proofs can help us more??

If there's no stopping you from getting married then do it. I do not advise applying as conjugal partners in your case.

you do not need to be married....I don t know why in this forum people try to push you to do so...if there are other categories there s a reason....
Even if is MORE DIFFICULT TO PROVE A COMMON LAW AND CONJUGAL PARTNERSHIP...but do we want to talk about people who get married only for a simple PR card or interest?

I can tell you that when i became permanent resident i was with my boyfriend and we applied as conjugal....also our case was not so strong (so people told me that at the beginning) because being italian (me ) and canadian italian (him) there was actually nothing that stopped us in terms of immigration barrier...but we could not stay more than 6 months in each other countries so we applied as conjugal
we sent a 5 kg package to CIC

more than 200 photos
bills, present receipts, friend s letter, and otjher stuffs like this and result.....

i send my application on dec 10th 2006 and I received my card on april 3rd 2007....
what i want to say

put everything in a CLEAR WAY in your application...all the things that could be important....
and explain how you handled your situation in these days and what your plans are once in canada...explaining why you don t want to get married could be another good point. but not mandatory

but i knew personally cases of people that EVEN MARRIED were refused by CIC because it was a planned wedding....

The thing is the manual is not clear about this. On one end they say people shouldn't be forced to marry and as long as there's a genuine relationship it's ok. On the other, they say if you can marry or live together for a year, then that's what you're supposed to do before applying. One IO might go with the first part, another with the second. But you never know which IO you are going to get! The same case could be approved by one IO and rejected by another. Nobody here can tell you if you will be approved or rejected, because a lot depends on the IO. That is why we usually recommend marrying if you can, because it increases your odds. The manual is clear on that part: if you're married, you're married. As long as the marriage is legal anyway.
Of course, you STILL have to prove the relationship is genuine, but you have to do that as a conjugal partner as well.

It's not so much being married or not. After all, a lot of couple live together without being married for many years!

It's the commitment that goes with it. From there, it's case by case. If you met recently and are not ready to get married, CIC could judge that you are not ready to be a sponsor. There are responsibilities that comes with being a sponsor, such as the financial liabilities. If you know each other for a while but don't feel like getting married for whatever reason, I don't see the problem. Marriage is a personal choice!

Don't forget to add as many details as you can about your relationship and justify whatever is not obviously clear.
