hi everyone! newbie here!
hope someone could help me. I have a boyfriend in canada, he's a permanent resident,a Filipino. we're getting married this year, by august. and he will stay here in the Philippines for 5 1/2 mos after the wedding. but we've been in a relationship for almost 5 years as bf/gf. question is: can he file an application to sponsor me even though he's here in the Philippines after the marriage or he needs to come back to canada to file the spousal sponsorship? thanks!
Oo pwede po basta kumpleto ang Application kit ng sponsor at proofs and documents nya na kailangan nya . Pero mas maganda na wag irush para maayos at organize at isend nalang nya pagbalik nya ng Canada kasi sa side mo may mga kukunin ka rin na mga important documents like kailangan nyo pang iparegister ang kasal nyo sa NSO para makakuha ng Marriage Certificate at AOM Advisory on Marriage, NBI, Police Clearance , Medical, Police Clearance abroad kung ang Applicant na nasa Pinas ay nagwork or tumira abroad ng more than 6 months, sa pag change ngstatus sa Passport requirements ay aattend ka ng PDOS kasi PR ang status ng Sponsor mo sa Canada para makakuha ng Certificate na kailangan sa DFA para sa Passport.
Paki check nalang po ang link para sa Spousal Sponsorship sa CIC website sa link na ito :
Apply to sponsor your spouse, partner or children
Effective October 25, 2012, sponsored spouses or partners must now live together in a legitimate relationship with their sponsor for two years from the day they receive permanent residence status in Canada.
If you are a spouse or partner being sponsored to come to Canada, this applies to you if:
You are being sponsored by a permanent resident or Canadian citizen
You have been in a relationship for two years or less with your sponsor
You have no children in common
Your application was received on or after October 25, 2012
Learn more about the new conditional permanent residence measure for spouses and partners.
There are two steps to the application process for your spouse, partner or children to become permanent residents.
As a citizen or permanent resident of Canada, you must apply to sponsor your family member.
Your sponsorship application is processed by a Case Processing Centre (CPC) in Canada.
You will be notified in writing by the CPC about the decision on your sponsorship application.
Your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent children must apply for permanent residence.
The applications for both sponsorship and permanent residence should be filled out and sent at the
same time.
How to apply
There are three steps to apply to sponsor your spouse, partner or children:
1. Get the application package
2. Pay your application fees
3. Submit your application
