Clearly, with that span of time that he has not returned to canada, Canadian Immigration will conclude that he sought alien registration elsewhere, much worse an illegal alien in the Philippines. Has he been paying his taxes and other obligations to canadian govt as required from citizens? Because if no, there is the problem. Tax cases could even arise from those liabilities which could perhaps make him not ineligible to sponsor.

I would suggest that he secure a certification from the DFA that he has not applied for alien registration here; neither is he an illegal alien in the Philippines. You perhaps need a legal immigration consultant to deal with canadian embassy who can help vouch for his actual status. Did he submit a police certificate or NBI clearance from the Philippines?

But I think there is no other sure way but for him to return to canada and resume the processing from there. But proving income to support the sponsored family in canada is another matter which may not come easy. He must at least have a job or stable income.

I believe that no document will ever be sufficient to prove that he is returning to canada; not even an exit visa from the phil on his passport will ascertain that he will fly home. If it is already the canadian embassy questioning its citizen, I do not know of any other who he can turn to. A canadian immigration consultant perhaps..... think of that before time runs out.
I forgot to mention my sponsor is NOT a Canadian national.. He's Filipino-Canadian. As what you've said, I think the only hard & convincing evidence for the VO is for him to return immediately to Canada and continue the processing of the application from there. what do u think?

congrats sa mga nagka visa na. Ang saya saya talaga. Bukas aatend ako ng CFO seminar. Medyo busy pa rin ako sa school pero at least, I'm scheduled to leave the Phils. on Dec. 15.

Sa mga waiting, hwag kayong mag alala. Darating at darating ang mga hinihintay nyo. Hwag kayong mainip at mawalan ng pagasa. Pray without ceasing. God bless po.

If I had the means, I will return to canada as soon as possible. The VO is now looking for grounds for denial, to the extent of forfeiting citizenship, or whatever legal status he has in canada. I will not take the risk of justifying something that cannot be justified. They can always refuse to believe. They should have asked for specific documents.... they have not, they do not know of any. Because you also can change your mind anytime and they have no control. Once they give the PR to the sponsored person and has landed, they are almost helpless in reversing their decision if the "partner" later opts to stay here for good.

So many things are playing in the mind of the VO.... are you still really living together or just using the relationship to get a PR for you? You know, even those proofs of continuing relationship can be for "show". They just look blindly and take everything in good faith, then approve the application. Those proofs speak for the past...can they be sure about the present reality? If I were a estranged partner, and my "ex" requests it for the sake of the children, why not?

Returning ASAP to Canada is not possible.. The Canadian passport of my partner just expired last month... worse he can't renew his passport since he lost his citizenship card. He applied for replacement of his citizen ship card back in August... The sad part is, he will not receive the replacement card until 5 months... Only then he can apply for a new passport.

Guys/gals... need your advise.. I received an email from CEM asking for more convincing evidence that my sponsor will return to Canada once PR is granted. Based on the information we submitted in our application the VO is not satisfied that my sponsor will return to Canada...

Me and my sponsor is been living together here in the Philippine for 4 years and 9 months now. Btw.. my sponsor is a Canadian citizen. He left Canada in December of 2006 and have not return since. I believe this is one of the reasons the VO is not satisfied.

Among the documents we're looking to submit are as follows;
- Job offers from Canada (Sadly, he will still look for a job :( )
- Rental agreements ( actually we included this document as evidence when we submitted our application... it seems this is not enough)
- Plane ticket perhaps?? what do you think?


ANY OTHER information you can provide is much appreciated...

Deadline to submit the additional documents is until December 1. Im not sure if we can meet this deadline. They also noted that if we failed to submit the documents, they will not proceed to process the application. Ouch! :( They did not specify if they will deny the application... ( Not sure if I can clarify this statement with them )



@ raniloc
Ang masasabi ko lang ay malaki ang babayaran nyang penalty sa Philippine Immigration for over staying yung hubby ng sister ko kasi is American citizen nabitin kasi sya sa pag stay nya d2 sa Pinas nagtanong sya kung magkano ang stay per day P1,500-P2,000 ang penalty dito sa Immigration if i'm not mistaken. Kung meron sana syang work dito at meron syang working permit ok lang yun pero kung wala malaking problema yan illegal allien sya. Sabi nga nung isang nag comment the best thing to do is patulong sya sa Canadian Embassy kasi taga dun sya
