The question above gives me a deep thought.
First l will say l hope everything turn out to be good for you because you,ve come a long way.

Now back to the fact of life in which we all need wisdom in every areas of our lives.

I know some will say you don't need to make this kind of message public, if l do make it private how would others learn from making such mistakes in future. The government that gives us laws are ready to do many things to back the laws, government do a lot of things to safe a nation in good or in bad way, in truth or in lies, they need to safe the nation.

Do you know why the authority keep telling you at the point of arrest that anything you say or do will be use against you at the court of law? Sometime what we put down in our application jeopadize our application, how do they know about it? We all know the answer to that question, when you know in your mind that you do not have back up for your statement or actions at any point in time, l don't see the reason why you need to make such moves against yourself knowingly or unknowingly, the immigration staff are doing their job and they justify you base on what you and l put in the application...don't get me wrong here, l am not encouraging you to tell lies but things you know within yourself that you cannot get any back up for it, l don't see the point in bringing such into light, some even go to the extent of providing fake documents because they want to back themselves up in certain area...if you want to proof me wrong about this fact, l will give you examples in the government, in the holy books that we need to apply wisdom sometime in whatever we are doing.

A lot of people are scared of saying certain things on here, if l am scared and you are scared to say some things in a public, who is going to pass the knowledge, l am sad sometime when l see real and genuine people denied of their faith and those that play pranks got what they want because they learned the tricks and they speak the immigration languages and give them what they want to see.

These are the area that immigration lawyers or other lawyers take advantage of people by doing addition and subtraction of documents before presenting it at the court of law or any where it necessary.
I learned many things in the past from various embassies and l attended several seminars but every time you need to learn from people and their mistakes and this are the reason that this forum is helpful because of the information that generates from here.

I don't know how else l could pass this message accross to us than to make it public and if you want to express judgemental attitude or criticize me base on this message, be my guest.

My point is we need to be careful on what we say or put down in our applications.
We need to learn from one another, God bless.


The mistake has been made.we only need to back each other in our prayers.what will be will surely be.what I believe is that God's will will always be done.if you are meant to be together,no matter the mistake, you will surely be together.even though I don't know How the officer got yo know about the said traditional marriage.but It's good to be truthful.truth hurts though,but we need to say it.backing it up with needed document helps.the road to Damascus is not an easy road.No good thing comes easily.God will do it for us all.Amen.

Yes you are right we need to support one another in prayers because that's the only thing we could do on here and to give advice that will bring positive change in our lives as well as the life of others, as you said nothing good comes easy, for real that's the truth because it's so painful when they use the truth against you simply because you don't have what they believe is the right documents to them. I pray we increase in wisdom not only in immigration issue but in every areas of our lives.
 
Out of our imperfection,God is made Manifest.Hey mercyofGod have you heard from them? Application still in process since 31 July till date.

Nothing yet but l want to give them this whole month of Sept if l did not read from them, l will need to contact MP but so far my guessing on AVO concerning their activities is still working for me with the Living God on my side, l can't just wait for the good news because the waiting is killing for real, the thought sometime takes my sleep away from me but l keep the finger cross because l did my best so l need to allow God to do His will but we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, we shall all be granted our heart desire sooner or later.
 
Hi guys, I need to understand something here. So if one was in a common-law relationship, a divorce certificate needs to be provided? If yes, how can someone get a divorce certificate if no wedding was done or paper signed? I thought a notarized letter would be fine,because that's what I put with my husband's sponsorship application. Please someone explain, so that i would know where to start from now. Thanks!

Yes .the wait is very exhausting. But what God has said shall come to accomplishment.It's well.
 
Sincerely speaking, I do not see why the whole interview revolved around this marriage certificate. this application was submitted one year ago, why can't they just specify in writing that this will be a problem so that the applicant can explain in details why it was not added. That is the job they ought to be doing.

No divorce certificate for common law. What is required is severance of common law. I guess you did that already with the notary.

Under Canada's Constitution
A "divorce" is when a court officially ends a marriage and issue you a certificate. Only legally married couples can divorce.

But since the laws surrounding separation in common law relationship can be vague, and vary depending on the province you reside in and provincial or federal law, l believe you've done the right thing.

Separation

Separation occurs when a couple, married or common-law, no longer lives together as a couple. You do not have to see a lawyer, go to court, or have a ‘legal separation’ to be legally separated. You do not need the consent of your spouse or partner to start living separately. You are considered legally separated as soon as you and your spouse/partner start living ‘separate and apart’ from each other with the intention of separating.

Separation usually means living in separate places, but sometimes a couple stays in the same house even though their relationship has ended.

This may be for financial reasons or for the stability of any children involved. Each case is different so, depending on the circumstances of the case, a couple living under the same roof may be considered living “separate and apart”.

Some signs that a couple living under the same roof may be putting an end to joint activities include:

Staying in separate bedrooms
Cooking meals individually / doing laundry individually
Not sharing social activities
Whether you are in a common-law relationship or married, you will likely need legal settlement of your affairs during a separation, such as custody and access, child/spousal support, and division of property.

If there is a separation agreement, these issues may be resolved without having a judge decide them for you. However, it is likely that the issue will still go to court to have the judge make an order.

If there is no separation agreement, and the couple cannot agree on all the issues involving child support or custody and access, they can request the assistance of Family Justice Services, or apply to the court to have a judge decide the issues.

Divorce

Divorce is the legal end of a marriage. It does not end all of the obligations between spouses. It simply ends the legal relationship that was created when two people were married.

The Divorce Act is a federal law that applies to legally married couples. It does not apply to common law couples or other unmarried couples.

Therefore, l do not see the reason for divorce certificate in common law couples, l believe you are okay with what you have as Lamour said.

Hey lamour, comment cava? I believe we should be okay before this month runs out.
Ça va très bien. Merci. Et toi?
Pas de choix, nous sommes obligé de être patiente.
I believe and pray so too for this month. A lot of plans are on hold and have been paused by immigration. The wait is no fun at all
 
Hi Desperateforanswer, I hope everything goes well with you guys. One thing that is important to know though is that, did either of you (In this case, I'm guessing you are the sponsor) receive your PR through the supposedly terminated common law relationship? If that's the case, it changes the entire scenario completely.


Desperateforanswer said:
Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. Please I need help from anyone who is able to. I am a PR in Canada and I sponsored my spouse last year. We got married in June of 2013, been dating since December 2011. And we put application in last year August 2014. In October we were informed that form 1344 need to be an updated one which we sent to them immediately ( we were now in October ). By January 2015 I got an approval letter to sponsor and that file has been transferred to Accra. By April got an email that our marriage was not genuine that we needed to send in more proof within 3 @ days. We complied and sent more proof. Everything requested was sent in. In July we got email asking my husband to come for interview on September 8 2015 ( today ). My husband went for the interview taking more proof of our marriage. But today, the officer told my husband on three different occasion that he knows our marriage is genuine that he can see that we are truly married and genuine but he said his only concern is that I did not submit a divorce certificate from my previous marriage which was a common law marriage. My husband told him yes that we did submit, he then looked through the files and picked the form out and told my husband this is not considered a divorce certificate. He then told my husband he will email his decision and gave my husband all our documents back, I mean every single thing we had ever sent in. Now I waited all day for the email he was going to send and nothing came. I've been worried all day because I don't know what this is. I asked my husband if the officer verbally told him his application was denied, but he said no, that the officer only said he will send his decision via email. Now my husband has been searching for that divorce paper since he got back to the hotel but it is no where to be found. He has searched cant find it. Now we are not sure if the officer kept that with him or not. We don't know what to do now. Please anyone have idea what this could mean. Really need answers, thank you.

You are very correct Jamie-D
But very unfortunate that they wait d this long to bring it up. If she is eligible to sponsor and first stage was approved, I wonder what seem to be the problem
