Hi there,
Ok, I am currently in a relationship with someone who arrived in Canada in 2019. Pandemic closed the borders and he ended up overstaying his visitor visa. He never returned back to his country of origin. Our story is a little complicated...
I am currently married and had sponsored someone who received their PR in September 2020, He left me in May 2022 (literally days before our 3yr wedding anniversary). I cannot apply to divorce him until May 2023 and I am technically still involved in our undertaking until September 2023.
My new partner did marry a canadian in 2019, but once they filed for PR, IRCC found out he was still legally married in his home country. He had no idea. His ID from his country stated 'single'. He thought his ex had divorced him years ago. He is currently in the process of divorcing wife #1 and will need to annul married from Canada with wife #2.
We ended up meeting eachother about 6 months ago. Obviously he doesn't have status at the moment. I am looking for any advice...
Can he apply for an extension based on 'public policy' even though his visa is long expired?
Can I sponsor him right away in the fall after my current undertaking is over?
Do I need to actually be married again or can this be done as a common law application?
I know it looks bad...but it's much different than my last experience. I am just looking for some positive advice here. I do have an amazing immigration lawyer that I used in the past, but it was very costly as my 'ex' had several issues that I was unaware of until I went through the process of sponsoring him.
New partner is amazing and enhances my life in many ways. Much more genuine, but I am afraid that IRCC will judge me also....any insight would be appreciated
Thank you
