Family Class Sponsorship - Conjugal Partner Relationship

[maryan_28]

Dear team members,

We need your help please. We are hoping you can enlighten us with regards to our current situation.
We are in the process of completing our application for family class sponsorship. My sponsor who is a Canadian citizen can't come home for us to get married due to his medical condition. He is undergoing check - ups due to his heart condition. Aside from that, he previously got married in the Philippines and his divorce in Canada has not yet been recognized in the Philippines. I have not tried getting a tourist visa due to financial constraint. Will these factors be considered as immigration barriers in our conjugal relationship? We have been committed for more than two years already. He has been sending me financial support as well and we keep in touch everyday.

Thank you.

Thank you.

possibly the info about his health, travel restrictions and divorce. not so much about not applying for a visitor's visa because of financial constraint. CIC doesn't really care about financial constraint. it will be difficult for anyone to tell you for sure as it is dependant upon the visa officer reading your file. Conjugal is the hardest to prove.

it might strengthen your case if you do apply for a visitor's visa and get rejected. that would be another barrier to getting married.

I see. We will think about it first. Thank you again for your help on this. Greatly appreciated.

As you haven't even applied for a TRV, there is currently no barrier preventing you from coming to Canada to be with him. Financial reasons are not valid.

Hi, noted on that. Thank you for your input on our concern. How about if we will just focus instead on him being still married in the Philippines and he can't come home because of his medical condition? Is there any possibility that we may be approved? Supporting doc that we have for financial support is 6 to 8 remittance slips for year 2013 and another 6 - 8 for year 2014. There are also call logs, for 5 to 6 times on a daily basis. We have subscription in Directo and it allows him unlimited calling to my Canada assigned number. We tried to comply with upfront medical check up also. I posted here to ask for your insights because I am so worried. Going there to Canada is the only chance we have of being together. We really appreciate your taking the time to answer.

You need to apply for a TRV. Without the refused TRV (if it's refused), there is no proof that you cannot come to Canada and become common law by living together for a year.

 

[maryan_28]

Noted on that. Thank you very much for your suggestion.

Presenting evidence of your time spent together will be an important part of your application. Nothing in your posts indicates that you have spent any time together.

We had been together during his vacation but that was only for 3 weeks since he needed to go back to work already.
