回复: 为Common-Law形式的les和Gay开的帖子
你好!请教下你说的conjugal partner和Common-Law申请上有什么区别呢?
有什么要求呢?需要呆一起还是住在一起多久?请赐教!谢谢!
CIC网站上对conjugal partner的定义,懒得翻译了,你自己看吧。我觉得中西的这种,很容易就符合conjugal定义了,因为移民和签证的原因,都没法在对方的国家长期居住嘛
You can sponsor a person as a conjugal partner(1)
if
• that person is of the opposite or same sex,
• that person is residing outside Canada (that is, has, for legal purposes, a fixed, permanent
and principal home outside Canada), and
• you have maintained a conjugal relationship with that person for at least one year, that is
you have been in a committed and mutually interdependent relationship of some
permanence where you have combined your affairs to the extent possible.
(1)
This last category is intended for partners of Canadian sponsors who would ordinarily apply as
• common-law partners but cannot meet the definition, that is were not able to live together
continuously for one year with their sponsor, or
• spouses, but marriage to their sponsor is usually not an available option to them,
usually because of marital status or sexual orientation, combined with an immigration barrier
(for example, rules preventing partner and sponsor of long stays in one another’s countries).
