Am I still able to sponsor my husband?

[scarlet.louise]

Hi, I need an advice. Me and my husband got married in 2022 in my home country, got pregnant then had our baby here in Canada. I’m the only parent in his birth certificate because the time that I gave birth to our son (2021) we’re not married yet. Since then, I’ve been putting on my taxes and everything that I’m still single. Would this cause a big problem if I want to sponsor him?

And pray tell why are you stating you’re single to the Government ?

Theoretically you can do it, but be careful, you need somehow justify all that you haven't mentioned your spouse before.

If I register our married here and change my status would that still cause a problem?

It's a bad idea, you are already married.

You don’t register it , you just notify the CRA

If he is not on the child's birth certificate as you said he must establish parentage through a DNA test, simply telling ircc that he's the father that's not how it works.
