Q1: The term "conjugal partner" meaning a person is residing outside Canada and I have maintained a conjugal relationship for at least 1 yr and not cohabited with him. Does this mean a boyfriend? My boyfriend is actually in HK now and we have never lived together. Should I sponsor him as my "conjugal partner" or should I get married with him first and sponsor as my "spouse" ? Which is better/safer?

A1: Your boyfriend might fall in the category of "conjugal partner" if you really have established and maintained a conjugal relationship. You'd better marry him first and then sponsor him as your spouse.

Q2: Which Case Processing Ctr(CPC) should I send the app. to? On the form it says I should send to Mississauga. I heard that Buffalo is faster, but I phoned the CPC and he says Buffalo is for independent immigration, for spouse case should send to Mississauga ON (or Alberta if for sponsoring spouse within Canada).

A2: Mississauga.

Q3: In the new law, I have to fill out a "spouse/common-law/conjugal partner questionnaire". It says I have to provide wedding/engagement pictures. It also asks whether I have any wedding/engagement ceremonies. So if I sponsor my "conjugal partner", do I need to have engagement ceremony? Does this apply for spouse/common-law case only?
A3: Although you don't have to have an engagement CEREMONY, how can you prove that you have established a conjugal relationship with him? Any witness?
