A conjugal partner is a person who has maintained a conjugal relationship with the sponsor for at least one year but has been unable to live with the sponsor due to immigration barriers. This refers to both opposite-sex and same-sex couples.

A conjugal relationship is more than a physical relationship. It is a mutually dependent relationship, and it has some permanence and the same level of commitment as a marriage or a common-law union.

You may apply as a conjugal partner if:

* you have maintained a conjugal relationship with your sponsor for at least one year;
* you have been prevented from living together or marrying because of: an immigration barrier;
* your marital status (e.g., you are married to someone else and living in a country where divorce is not possible); or
* your sexual orientation (e.g., you are in a same-sex relationship and same-sex marriage is not permitted where you live);
* you can provide evidence of an immigration barrier to living together (e.g., evidence of refused long-term stays in each other’s country).

You should not apply as a conjugal partner if:

* you could have lived together but chose not to, indicating that you did not have the level of commitment required of a conjugal relationship (e.g., you did not want to give up a job or a course of study, or your relationship was not yet at the point where you were ready to live together); or
* you are unable to provide evidence of an immigration barrier that prevented you from living together; or
* you are engaged to be married. In this case, you should either apply as a spouse once the marriage has taken place or apply as a common-law partner if you have lived together continuously for at least 1 year.

“A public officer whose function it is to administer oaths; to attest and certify, by his hand and official seal, certain classes of documents, in order to give them credit and authenticity in foreign jurisdictions; to take acknowledgements of deeds and other conveyances, and certify the same, and to perform certain official acts, chiefly in commercial matters, such as the protesting of notes and bills, the noting of foreign drafts, and marine protests in cases of loss or damage. One who is authorized by the state or federal government to administer oaths, and to attest to the authenticity of signatures.”
