I am a permanent resident in canada, i have been living here since 2009, I moved to canada when i was 18 years old. However my boyfriend is in peru, we have been dating since 2005 and i am going to sponsor him under Conjugal partner category but i need to prove immigration barrier???? I am not sure if there is or there is not in our case... Please help!!
 
To be completely honest Conjugal is the hardest way to apply with only 1%-2% even being approved, there really aren't many of these immigration barriers. The biggest is being married and not being able to get divorced because your country does not recognize divorce. Another would be same sex couples in a country that doesn't acknowledge same sex relationships....
 
Agreed Conjugal really has such a tiny chance of success and such a huge chance of failure, it is a waste of money but more importantly from your point of view it is a waste of time and will set you back a good few months. You will be anxious and very stressful and the success rate is so tiny it is almost a complete waste of time.

"i need to prove immigration barrier? I am not sure if there is or there is not in our case... Please help!!" Just this statement by itself tells a story, if you are not sure there is a barrier then this category of application is doomed.

Good luck :D

If you can go to Peru and marry your boyfriend, then there is no immigration barrier. If you can go to Peru and live with him for a year so you can be common-law partners, then there is no immigration barrier. Not wanting to marry because you are not ready is not considered a barrier. Not wanting to move to Peru for a year because of school or work is also not considered a barrier.
If you cannot go to Peru because the Peruvian government will not let you - will not give you a visa, for example - and your boyfriend cannot come to Canada, then that would be an immigration barrier. You would have to prove it: for example, show proof that you tried to go to Peru but were not let in, and proof that your boyfriend applied for a TRV to Canada but was rejected.

(I'm assuming you are a woman. If this is actually a same-sex couple, then an immigration barrier might well exist.)
