Spousal Sponsorship applications being delayed because…….I know why, why do other Counsels not know?

It inflates my ego when other Counsels call asking my advice about their client’s files. My patience is tested when they want to chat and chat with out forwarding certain documents or facts in point form.

 Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) calls and informs me I solved one of her client’s issues four years ago and do I remember? NO! She has a Filipino client (means she is paid) and is also Filipino with an office on Wilson Street in Toronto, one in the Philippines and another in Kitchener. I ask her to send me an email with the facts in point form and any document that is a problem. She says let me explain. I tell her I’m driving so make it quick.

 Female sponsor is sponsoring her male spouse. Don’t care what sex they are!

Sponsor got landed March 2013 under Live in Caregiver Program status single. Okay.

They are submitting an outland spousal application based on common law. Not a problem!

They consummated their relationship two days after meeting in person. Not relevant

Filipino certificate issued December 2013 stating they are common law.  Why the delay in sponsoring?

The Filipino certificate does not say they’re married. They’re not married, they’re common law!

Sponsor never left Canada since 2006. What does that matter!

Sister arranged everything and processed the marriage license. Who cares!

“No marriage license was necessary, the marriage

Being solemnized under Art 34 of Executive Order No 209 (Family Code)

SHOW ME ARTICLE 34!

 ·         Art. 34. No license shall be necessary for the marriage of a man and a woman who have lived

together as husband and wife for at least five years and without any legal impediment to marry

each other. The contracting parties shall state the foregoing facts in an affidavit before any person

authorized by law to administer oaths. The solemnizing officer shall also state under oath that he

ascertained the qualifications of the contracting parties are found no legal impediment to the

marriage.

They both signed an AFFIDAVIT stating they have been living together for five years when they have never lived together!

Immigration will conclude that the husband is not a member of the family class since he was not declared or medically examined when she applied for permanent residency. (Based on the e Certificate of Union issued by the Filipino government).

UNSCRUPULOUS CLIENT’S SHOULD NEVER BE TOLD HOW TO OVERCOME THE IMMIGRATION ACT AND ITS REGULATIONS!
