Common law sponsorship

[toya]

My common law and I have been together for over a year and we are now expecting our 1st child together within a month. We have all proof for cic that we've been living together for a year. However, he was sponsored in 2012 via marriage but is now legally separated for 2 years.

Is it ok for him to still sponsor me now?

A sponsored spouse who received PR status has a 5 year period that must pass before he/she is able to sponsor a different spouse.

No they didn't, it wasn't even discussed. You're thinking of conditional PR rule.

All PRs must wait 5 years before sponsoring a new spouse, if they were previously sponsored as a spouse to Canada. So in this case they must wait until 2017, or exactly 5 years from when he landed as a PR.

Usually there is a 1 year ban after a failed refugee app before you can apply under a H&C app. However if you have a child that would be negatively affected by your removal from Canada, the ban does not apply and you can apply for a H&C app immediately. So this is what you should probably do right after your child is born.
