Hi,
I just need some advice and inputs about my situation for my wife's SPOUSAL sponsorship. Before that, in gonna give you a quick picture of how I was able to obtain my pr status. Me and my gf have been together for a long time since 2011. Back in 2012, we decided to go to UAE to look or a job as nurses and luckily we landed a job like just as we like. In 2013, I found an opportunity to apply for Canadian immigration under QSWP. I applied as single because of financial issues and we decided that it would be better for me to apply instead of her as my job profile is much better. Fortunately my visa was approved on 2017 and finally landed as immigrant last January 2018. Back then, during my application, I was advised by my immigration specialist to pursue applying as single applicant to avoid delays and putting my then gf as my COMMON LAW partner is not an option because we don't have any documents to support it. Living together in the middle East as couples and not married is strictly prohibited and could land us to jail. So going Back, I found a job in Ottawa and still continue communicating with my then gf and we finally decided to get married so I went home last September and finally made her my wife. When I came back last week, I immediately called an immigration lawyer to start the process of bringing my wife here. Little did I know that I need to declare her as my COMMON LAW before landing here. Now I am confused and worried that we are possibly facing a situation now that I cannot sponsor her at all. I mean I did all I can do to fulfill our Canadian dream with all honesty but because of an honest mistake of not declaring her prior to me landing here, we could end up being rejected and not be able to sponsor her at all. Now the only way I can think of is to prove that we are not COMMON LAW partners
