Congrats to Acel_Custodio :D that was really fast! nakakatuwa naman :D how long have you been married? sana ganyan din kabilis yung sa min :) and dito ba sa manila nag-medical si hubby mo? ikaw lang ba ang nag-ayos ng papers ni hubby or did you hire a lawyer? You mentioned your love story, we did ours too and wrote it in English and it was really long. We indicated there how we met, then we became friends, all our struggles as a couple and till we got married. What do you think is the reason for the fast processing of your application? Was it the completeness and accuracy of the documents you submitted? Sorry, got so many questions for you... Will appreciate your feedback! Thank you and Congrats again :) I really am happy for you!


I did it all by myself lol. No lawyers. Madali lang naman kasi intindihin ung nasa website ng CIC. Basta sabi lang kumpletuhin lahat pagpasa para wala ng hihingin pa. Sa Makati nagmedical asawa ko nung last week ng July. December na ko nakapagapply kasi ang tagal ng marriage cert namin sa Manila cityhall. Binaha kasi sila nun kaya hnd nila agad naforward sa NSO. Binayaran ko na lahat sa CIC sinama ko ung receipt nung pinasa ko. Kumpleto din kami sa Skype, YM, emails, letters, FB, Twitter, pictures pati wedding details, mga travels together pati tickets and boarding passes, ung mga stamp sa passport namin na 3x ako umuwi to be with him. July 3 last yr kami kinasal.

It depends on the amount of applications being filed from CEM . . .also, the medical expiration. But most of the time, 10 - 11 months,,yung 1 month remaining is for you to ready yourself para sa visa and flight schedule as well. Basta complete ang application docs, no problem..and comply for everything that CEM ask you to do..

appleguy 10 inquiry lang po, after you've sent your passport and other requirements to CEM, did CEM call you to pick-up your passport w/ visa OR they sent it through courier(DHL).. Please, thank you.

Update... we got my wife's PPR today April 29, 2013 (note that her pr status changed to "IN PROCESS" April 15, 2013).
 
Hi everyone! I am newbie here. This forum is definitely helpful that's why I decided to open up my situation here. I just need help from you guys regarding my case.
I am a Canadian Permanent Resident and married my boyfriend for 9 years (who is actually my first cousin) in Singapore where cousin marriage is accepted and legal since it is not allowed in our home country -- Philippines.
My questions are:
1. Should we admit in the immigration forms that we are cousins, or should not? Will the immigration be able to find out about it if ever I deny that we are cousins?
2. Can I start processing the sponsorship of my husband without changing my last name to his surname, or is it strongly advisable to change my last name first before starting the sponsorship? How do I change my last name and my civil status?
Thank you so much for those who would be willing to answer my questions. It would be truly appreciated. Please do help me. Thank you so much.

First, you don't need to change your name to your married name to sponsor your spouse.
Second, I don't know if Canada allows 1st degree cousins to marry. If they don't ask anything about it, you don't need to disclose it, there is nothing in the forms to declare stuff like those anyway.
Your best bet is to provide the proof of your marriage for the last 9 years. You need to show the immigration that you are real couple.

Also, try to research more about marrying 1st degree cousin in Canada.

EDIT:
I saw this article online dated 2008. It says 1st degree cousin marriage is legal in Canada.

Thank you so much Iay for your reply. I've done my research regarding first cousin marriage and yes it is legal and accepted in Canada. I am just worried that the immigration might find out that we are cousins if I don't declare it. And if I do declare that we are cousins it concerns me that they might think we just married for convenience so I could sponsor him.

So there is no need for me to change my last name before starting the processing of his sponsorship? How about my civil status, how do I change it to Married? Any help please. Thank you very much.
