It turned out that she actually wanted to Study in Canada primarily to be together with her partner, Ms. Mennina, a Canadian citizen. They were in a relationship for quite a period already but due to legal barrier, they can't get married in the Philippines. We then suggested her to try the Family Class Sponsorship as a Conjugal Partner. She was surprised to hear about this option and became more interested when we told her about the story of Ms. Carol. Same-Sex marriage or common-law union is legal in Canada.
But In order for a Conjugal Partner Sponsorship, it needs a serious commitment from both partners. Otherwise, it will not work. The challenge here is how to convince the Visa Officer that there is an emotional and financial interdependence - that there is a real and continuing relationship as a couple despite the physical separation.
