Common Law separation before landing

[IRoS]

Hey all!! Just looking for some advice.

Long story short, I am a Canadian Citizen living outside Canada, did all the paperwork and Application to sponsor my common-law partner, after her PR was approved things in the relationship went sideways, and we broke up. She never landed in Canada in the time established and we left things as it was.

I'm just wondering if I have to Report to IRRC or any other office, that the relationship is over and that I am no longer sponsoring her, also, she does have a Canadian tourist visa, so not sure if the next time she enters Canada as a toursit, Migration officer might say anything.

Really appreciate taking your time in answering, Thanks!

You must notify IRCC ASAP. If she enters Canada, she can claim PR and then you are financially responsible for her for 3 years.

As a side note, if your ex were to land at a point where the relationship was definitively over, that would be misrepresentation on their part.

Which would mean, in long term, that their PR (or even subsequently citizenship status) could be revoked on the basis of getting the status fraudulently. As far as I'm aware, with no time limit - hypothetically forever.
