Manila Philippines Time line - Conjugal Partner - Male to Male, Female to Female

[brookslakeside]

Hi peeps,

I would like ask your help for my sister who's also applying for canadian immigration;
First a background;
She is a nurse who met her partner (f2f) at her workplace in KSA.
They are now both still working in the middle-east-DBX.
They have been together for more than 5 years I think.
Currently they have different residences as my sister was given an accommodation by her employer and she is not allowed to have anybody stay with her.

My question is, What proof/documents can they provide to show that they are common law partners? What are the probabilities that they will be denied?

hi kabayan


I`ll take the liberty to answer your question but i`m hoping a senior memebr will give you a better insight to your sister`s situation.
There`s a long list of proofs in OP 2 Manual that your sister and her common law partner needs to submit for a common law sponsorship. I categorize them as hard evidence and sentimental evidence:

.Joint bank accounts and/or credit cards;
• Joint ownership of residential property;
• Joint residential leases;
• Joint rental receipts;
• Joint utilities accounts (electricity, gas, telephone);
• Joint management of household expenditures;
• Evidence of joint purchases, especially for household items;
• Correspondence addressed to either or both parties at the same address;
• Important documents of both parties show the same address, e.g., identification documents,
driver’s licenses, insurance polices, etc.;
• Shared responsibility for household management, household chores, etc.;
• Evidence of children of one or both partners residing with the couple;
• Telephone calls.

pictures together, with friends and family members
cards and letters written to each other but should be postmarked
text messages, emails, chat records
receipts of gifts such as jewelries, flowers, etc
letters of support from family and friends

I can`t say if they`re going to be refused but usually they should be prepared to go home to the Philippines for an interview if need be.

Is your sister`s partner also a nurse? I`m just asking because they can both apply under the Federal Skilled Worker. My sister in law`s visa only took 6 months to process from Manila. I believe if it`s a genuine relationship we have to fight for it.

2nd week of November... haaayyy supper kabado na ako.. sana may mga post ng mga possible questions

i know this is a very stressful time for you but love will prevail in the end.

do you have a copy of your application please take time to review it, especially the sponsored questionnaire, they want to know if your relationship i9s genuine and not entered for immigration purposes. i read in one member`s experience, her husband was asked kong sino sino yong mga tao sa pictures na pinadala nya during the interview.
please also search the forum there are lots of threads about interviews. keep us posted for the good news. good luck.

hi embopj what is that question no. 83? re: refusal? anyway goodluck. you can do it!

possible question asked by a VO during interview: 83. If I refuse this application what will you do?

I've asked my partner to prepare just in case she gets invited for an interview. Our answer to that question would be:

"my partner will give up her citizenship in Canada and will move back to the Philippines to live with me."

I'm not quite sure if that's a good answer but to be honest, we've tried everything just to be together and this sponsorship is our last resort. I love my partner so much that I am really willing to live in the Philippines again just to be with her.

If my partner answers this question and still gets refused, then Canada's promotion of "looking after their citizens" is a total lie. Because if they really care about their people, they won't give up their citizens... even just one.

It could be a test to find whether it's more important to be with your partner or to be in Canada. If being Canada is the most important thing, you may be in a "relationship of convenience" which would cause your application to be denied.

You could also say that you will appeal if refused.

Hi Frappi, nice answer but I'll be playing a devil's advocate here if that's okay with you. If you would say that your partner will be willing to give up his/her citizenship and go back to the Philippines to be with you then don't you think the IO would think that both of you are not really that serious to be together in Canada? My wife and I read this one story about this before in a forum here about this girl who was sponsoring her spouse and was asked the same question, and when she said and I quote "If we get denied then I'll stay here with my husband in Ghana." and the IO denied them. She said that the IO told them that she doesn't believe that she'd stay in Ghana with him and that's the reason why they denied it. Well, this is her story anyhow.

Question 83 is a trick question I supposed and it seems all answers will be viewed in all angles. I think it will be interested to hear some answers eh?

 

[embopj]

I am getting confuse on what to answer on this question wawawawah

If I were the sponsor, I would say we'll do an appeal and if it still gets rejected then, I'll forever hate Canada and live with my spouse in a better country.

If I were the applicant, I would say something similar. We'll do an appeal and if it still gets rejected, I'll hope and pray that my spouse will live with me in my country or in another country where me and my spouse will be accepted as immigrants.

@Hycore - I think it's canadianwoman's story you're talking about. I might be wrong.

Anyways, this is a very tricky question and I hope hindi ka matanong ng ganito @embopj.

Good Luck!!! Kaya mo yan!!

@ Hycore very true.. but like i said, if my partner doesn't get approved, i dont think canada cares about their citizens.. anyway, i like what jeans22 wrote..

If I were the sponsor, I would say we'll do an appeal and if it still gets rejected then, I'll forever hate Canada and live with my spouse in a better country.

If I were the applicant, I would say something similar. We'll do an appeal and if it still gets rejected, I'll hope and pray that my spouse will live with me in my country or in another country where me and my spouse will be accepted as immigrants.

anyhow, i'm just wondering... do straight couples get invited for an interview as well? I know in other countries they do, but how about in Manila?
