hi, i am new in this forum. i hope someone can give me some advice.
i came to winnipeg manitoba all by myself last january 2014 and after 4 months i returned to the philippines and got married to my long time partner. we had a simple civil wedding.. and our marrige certificate is under article 34 which states that we didnt require a marriage license since we were living together for 5 years. the problem is when i applied under mpnp, i didnt declare him as my common law partner which i had no idea that i should have. will that affect our application for spousal sponsorship? will we get questioned why i didnt disclose it during my application?
i would really appreciate any reply...
you might ask why i didnt include him as my dependent at the first place...
it's because my uncle who sponsored me didnt want to. they told me that they can only accomodate one person in their home. i am trying my best luck her in canada for a better future and i was thinking that i can easily get him when i am already stable and can live on our own.
Your situation is not a good one,
Immigration rules require that you declare him when you apply,
I have seen many cases like this and they walk directly to rejection..
I would advise you to talk with an immigration consultant,
That is your best option,
Otherwise your case is very difficult one.
You would be surprised to see how many case get denied,
Its heart breaking.
