Spousal sponsorship

[civic]

I have a question: can a study permit holder withdraw from class and just stay at home if s/he has a pending spousal application in Canada?
Thanks

 

[ms. grateful]

need some help.....I'm from the philippines and is currently cohabiting with a canadian boyfriend for 14mos.....planning to apply for tourist visa and once in canada, apply for common law sponsorship....I have a question regarding what to put in the marital status in the form....single since we're not yet married? Here n the philippines we don't have the status common law...it's either single or married

If I put single in the tourist visa application, would this be a problem once we apply as common law once in canada?

Pls, help

Please tell me if possible. I eneter Canada as a tourist. Since I am still married in the Philippines and still using my exhusbands last name I dont have any choice but to put in the marital status that i am married. Because divorce is not welcome in the Philippines. Now when I came here in Canada, luckily found a job and now I have a work permit. Is it possible for me to declare that I have a common law partner back home? We've been living together for 3 years. I have no idea then that there is such thing here in Canada as a common law partner. If I knew I should have declared it then..... Please help.

You should ask this question in the foreign workers section of the forum.

You should have checked common law because that was your current status when you applied but you could have included a letter explaining that you were still legally married but separated from your husband. You could try to correct your marital status, try to explain that you made a mistake. It would not have affected your application being common law and separated vs. being married so it is not a mistake that somehow benefitted you.

Do you think I can still fix this mistake? Like write a letter and explain.....

It's the best option moving forward. The risk is that if they discover this, they will determine that you committed misrepresentation. If you instead say "at the time I did not realize that this was important, but I've since learned otherwise, please know that this is the actual situation" you have done as much damage control as you can given the circumstances.

If you are a PR, you must reside in Canada in order to sponsor your spouse. You can chance short vacations (remember that a Canadian vacation is generally no longer than 2 weeks) but if immigration finds out that you are not in Canada, you risk getting your application refused.
Hello, this information and website is really helpful and informative. I am a PR resident as well. In 21/06/2013, I went back home for one month to get married, before processing my husband's application. I have sent my husband's application forms in 21/03/2014. I wonder if this has any influences on my husband's application not to be refused. I am looking forward for your replies.

To answer your question, I also went back home in June 2013 to get married and stayed for a month over there. Then I applied after coming back in Sept, 2013. then again went on vacation in Jan19,2014 and came back in Feb19, 2014 while her PR application was processing and I actually gave my confirmed ticket for this trip included in the PR application that I will go again in Jan for a month.
So I don't think there is anything to worry about otherwise they would have let me know by now, I believe
But better not to play with it because we never know. I did it because I had to as I couldn't live separated from her for that long.

You mean when I write the letter I should elaborate everything in all honestly why I did'nt het to check "common law"?
