SPOUSE / FAMILY CLASS timeline MANILA Visa Office PHILIPPINES

[0jenifer0]

Nag start na ng Day light saving time kila husband...

Oo sis tama ka tulog na tulog pako kanina kita ko sa alarm clock namin 6:53AM palang pero ginigising nako ni hubby dahil mag 8:00AM na raw sabi ko "di pa ang aga pa " di na raw yun ang tamang oras kasi nadagdagan na raw ng isang oras hay naku lahat tuloy kulang ng isang oras sa akin. . Ganun din pala sa news akala ko ako lang nagka problema sa oras marami rin pala dito.

 

[0jenifer0]

I didnt!!!! My God!! what will happen????

Pag kasi sis dati bago ka naging PR at di mo sya nadeclare na BF mo sya at papasok kayo sa sponsor ship na common law di macoconsider na under family class category kayo ng BF mo kasi di mo sya dineclare bago ka nagland sa Canada at naging PR. Nakalagay yun sa letter na kasama ng Passport with Visa at COPR nakalagay dun kung may changes ka na gustong baguhin before landing sa Canada.

Kaya sis wag kayo papasok sa common law partner ng BF mo and carefull sa pag fill up nyo ng forms pag inisponsoran mo sya .

Ok lang po yun kasi ako po ang sponsor ko ang gumawa naman ng additional letter para sa continuation ng relationship namin.

Determine your eligibility – Sponsor your spouse, partner or children

Common-law partner

You are a common-law partner—either of the opposite sex or same sex—if:

you have been living together in a conjugal relationship for at least one year in a continuous 12-month period that was not interrupted. (You are allowed short absences for business travel or family reasons, however.)
You will need proof that you and your common-law partner have combined your affairs and set up a household together. This can be in the form of:

joint bank accounts or credit cards
joint ownership of a home
joint residential leases
joint rental receipts
joint utilities (electricity, gas, telephone)
joint management of household expenses
proof of joint purchases, especially for household items or
mail addressed to either person or both people at the same address.
Conjugal partner

This category is for partners—either of the opposite sex or same sex—in exceptional circumstances beyond their control that prevent them from qualifying as common-law partners or spouses by living together.

A conjugal relationship is more than a physical relationship. It means you depend on each other, there is some permanence to the relationship and there is the same level of commitment as a marriage or a common-law relationship.

You may apply as a conjugal partner if:

you have maintained a conjugal relationship with your sponsor for at least one year and you have been prevented from living together or marrying because of:
an immigration barrier
your marital status (for example, you are married to someone else and living in a country where divorce is not possible) or
your sexual orientation (for example, you are in a same-sex relationship and same-sex marriage is not permitted where you live)
you can provide evidence there was a reason you could not live together (for example, you were refused long-term stays in each other's country).

You should not apply as a conjugal partner if:

You could have lived together but chose not to. This shows that you did not have the level of commitment required for a conjugal relationship. (For example, one of you may not have wanted to give up a job or a course of study, or your relationship was not yet at the point where you were ready to live together.)
You cannot provide evidence there was a reason that kept you from living together.
You are engaged to be married. In this case, you should either apply as a spouse once the marriage has taken place or apply as a common-law partner if you have lived together continuously for at least 12 months.
Dependent children

A son or daughter is dependent when the child:

is under the age of 22 and does not have a spouse or common-law partner;
is over the age of 22 and has been continuously enrolled as a full-time student and depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 22;
became a spouse or a common-law partner before the age of 22 and has been continuously enrolled as a full-time student and depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since becoming a spouse or common-law partner, or
is over the age of 22 and depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 22 because of a physical or mental condition.
Relationships that are not eligible

You cannot be sponsored as a spouse, a common-law partner or a conjugal partner if:

you are under 16 years of age
you (or your sponsor) were married to someone else at the time of your marriage
you have lived apart from your sponsor for at least one year and either you (or your sponsor) are the common-law or conjugal partner of another person
your sponsor immigrated to Canada and, at the time they applied for permanent residence, you were a family member who should have been examined to see if you met immigration requirements, but you were not examined or
your sponsor previously sponsored another spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, and three years have not passed since that person became a permanent resident.

2010 pa po ako inapply hindi pa po kami, around sep 2011 na naging kami bali 1 yr and 5months palang..

 

[Iay]

Thanks Iay for sharing the spreadsheet and for the replies Really appreciate it. By the way, any sponsor from Montreal, Quebec?

You're welcome GrcEm.

To missyani, I think the best way is umuwi ka sa pinas kapag medyo stable na kayo ng baby mo and then get married duon. Pagbalik mo ng Canada, tsaka mo i-apply si husband mo as a spouse, kasi this way hindi magiging complicated unlike kung i-apply mo siya ng common law (given your situation na sponsored as a dependent child).

I know medyo need mo lang maghintay until makauwi ka at maihanda ang lahat ng papers as a married couple, pero for sure worth it naman yung paghihintay kesa madaliin at hindi ganun ka-sure ang papers nio.

All the best sis, esp sa baby mo

Tama si sis Iay sis missyani maghintay ka muna na maging ok na kayo ng anak mo para mas maayos at mapag aralan mo ang sitwasyon mas maganda sis ang Sposal Sponsorship magastos matagal pero sigurado umuwi ka sa Pinas at pakasalan mo si BF mo pinakamatibay na paraan yun sis . Sigurado makukuha nyo ang visa ni hubby mo .

thank you sis, how about the common law thingy.we did live together for a year and 5 months.,kaya nga po may nabuo while my papers are in process..do you think they will find some holes to make my spousal sponsorship get disapproved and worse eh ma invalid pa ang PR ko :'( and by "stable" ilang months years and ibig sabihin mo dun?
