Leon said:Conjugal is a difficult road to take because unless you get a very lenient visa officer, you must prove that you have been in a marriage like relationship for 1 year or more and that immigration barriers or law of the land is preventing you from living together to qualify as a common law.
Have you been in a marriage like relationship with this man for more than 12 months? Do you support him or he supports you financially? Do you have joint bank accounts, joint property, insurance policies naming each other as beneficiaries and wills naming each other as heirs?
Could you marry him if you wanted to but choose not to? Could you live with him if you wanted to but choose not to? Are you ready to take financial responsibility for him for 3 years after he comes to Canada? Those are questions you need to know the answer to as well.
As for your PR being safe, if you tell the whole story about the affair and your husband forgiving you etc., they may believe that you were already separated from your husband when you sponsored him to Canada which means he got his PR based on misrepresentation and could lose it. Did you actually sponsor him after you got your PR or did you include him on your own PR application as your dependent? If you got your PR first and then sponsored him, you can not sponsor a new partner until your husband has been a PR for 3 years.
thanks very much for the insight leon, great help, i actually included them in my PR application, so would that mean i can sponsor my boyfriend now and would that complicate our status here? its actually over 3 years now since they arrive here. I cant marry my boyfriend because he is also married in the Philppines, and we dont have divorce in our country. i have lots of evidence to present pictures and documents, but my worry is that we had a child before my husband and my eldest child arrives in Canada im worrying that it would affect our status here, would having my citizzenship (which i expect to have anytime soon) help in anyway in my situation? thanks so much for the reply leon
