Common Law Sponsorship

[Eight]

I don't quite think you understand this rule. By not declaring you, you are banned forever under family class. It doesn't matter if you reach 1 yr of cohabitation again to become common-law, or if you get married. You would still be banned due to not being declared initially. Even after getting married you would have no rights to live permanently in Canada, ever. The only way would be to find a way to immigrate independently (i.e. as a skilled worker).

As I said, the ONLY way to not be banned and proceed with family class sponsorship after marriage, would be if you didn't mention the cohabitation before his landing and used alternate addresses on your application going back to that time period. Of course already changing CRA status complicates the situation even more so, even beyond the potential fraud/misrepresentation issue of fudging old address info.

Hi! I need your advise. I am already here in Canada as visitor visa. Got married and started collating documents. I was the one who inquired before reg common law sponsorship. Ive been cohabitating with my boyfriend now my spouse for almost 2 years but he did not declare on his application for PR because as I said we dont have proof like billings with same address, joint bank account etc. on that time. As advised before, dont mention the cohabitation before landing and used alternate addresses.

Btw, CRA did not approve the common law status. ANd now his status is married.

That doesn't negate the fact that you and he were Common-Law when he landed.

any advise please

Well...I guess you'll have to continue the lie and hope that you don't get caught. If CIC `figures it out', he could likely lose his own PR.

Irrelevant. As mentioned, you'll need to commit misrepresentation on your application and lie about your residence history, in order to be accepted as a family class member. Whether you choose to do this is up to you.

A `Canadian' what? You stated that he was a PR, not a citizen.

You probably read the original post from 2015... Now his boyfriend is now a citizen
