If your boyfriend is going to remain a student, the only way he can become a permanent resident is by you sponsoring him. You can do so one of two ways:
In both cases, you will have to prove the relationship is genuine. It will not be “ASAP.” The current processing time is 12 months minimum, and that’s what they’re aspiring to.
Your case is really specific, but the government does post a general processing time for humanitarian and compassionate grounds: 39 months. So it will be 39 months from the day you submitted your application. Provided the application is successful, it will then 45 days until your PR Card is mailed to you.
You need to contact a consultant or lawyer, as this situation cannot be fixed easily.
You should contact the Embassy of the Philippines or your nearest consulate.
No you do not have to change your passport when you change your address.
Pardons, technically speaking, do not exist any more; they have been replaced by “record suspensions”. The RCMP should remove the record from the database at the time the record suspension is granted. However, provincial agencies may or may not follow suit. They are not obligated to do so.
Depending on the jurisdiction of the offense, it is likely a statutory offence or misdemeanor, that is, not a criminal offence.
No. Your record will be taken from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and your criminal record will not show up on any checks of the public records in Canada, which means that persons with pardoned convictions will not be discriminated against when they apply for a job or for a position in the Canadian Forces or federal authority offices. The Solicitor General of Canada always retains the ability to disclose information on past crimes regardless of your pardon.
If you have committed a summary offence, you can apply three years after all fines have been paid and any sentence has been served. If you were convicted of an indictable offence the period before you can apply for a pardon is 5 years.
A pardon allows people who have committed a crime in Canada to demonstrate that they are now law-abiding citizens because they have served their sentence, paid any fines associated with their conviction and have not been involved with any other crime.
