5 YEARS SPONSORSHIP BAR - CLARIFICATION

[jgeliberte]

Hello!

The Sponsorship Bar says;

A sponsor who became a permanent resident after being sponsored as a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner
under subsection 13(1) of the Act may not sponsor a foreign national referred to in subsection (1) as a spouse, common-law
partner or conjugal partner, unless the sponsor

How about on my case which WE (Whole family) sponsored by my father, entered Canada last January 2014.

Me and my Girlfriend will get marry by April 2015.

Am I also affected with this sponsorship bar even though I am NOT sponsored AS SPOUSE, COMMON LAW PARTNER or CONJUGAL PARTNER instead I am declared as DEPENDENT CHILD.

When my dad sponsored us I am declared as Dependent child that time.

THANKS!!!!

Because on my understanding it says if you are sponsored AS spouse, common law or conjugal partner...
How about the other dependent from the sponsor like child who wants to sponsor his soon to be wife?
But if it says that "ANYONE" who sponsored I might be included on the sponsorship bar.

the 5 years sponsorship bar doesn't apply to you;only to spouse,common law partner and conjugal partner.
you were sponsored by your father so you can sponsor your wife as soon as you get married if you wish.
good luck.

Oh that's great... I hope this is true.. Because I read this phrase few times and it really applies to a newly sponsored partner.. I hope there's someone here with the same issue to share some thoughts..

There is nothing to share. This rule applies ONLY to those who were sponsored here as a spouse. When you sponsor your wife, she will be barred from sponsoring a new spouse for 5 years after she lands. This rules does NOT apply to you as has been stated several times on this thread already.
