I am also from the UK but fear they will knock on my door and take my son away as my partner works away from home

Being the Stay-at-home parent, our daughter starts kindergarten this fall.

I couldn't sponsor him then, as I had received welfare in the 12 months prior. I struggle with mental illness and have been working hard to be at the point I am now where I can look at these forms without bursting into tears - let alone look at them and comprehend them.

Trust me, I am fully aware that this could have been resolved if I was a stronger person.

I feel your pain Mint.Strawberries and I wish you good luck with this. Any medical condition makes this immigration process so difficult! And Yes, the more the paperwork piles up, the more you are tempted to just bury it away! I had a hard time getting started, but trust me, once you get started...and make it a goal to fill up one form a day...or break it down however it works for you...then everything will just flow and before you know it, it will be all done.

It took me about 3 months to have all the paperwork ready to mail.

Hang in there!
 
If his status expired more than 90 days ago, there's no way for him to be in status now, unless he leaves and is successful re-entering Canada.

He will not be eligible for an Open Work Permit until he reaches stage 1 (AIP) which is currently ~ 16 months after CIC receives the Inland application.

Without status, there's no guarantee that he will not be removed from Canada, but having an Inland application submitted may help. However, if he's already on CBSA's radar and is, in essence, removal ready now...the Inland application will not offer much protection.

Without knowing more about his situation (see scylla's questions), it's hard to offer anything more.
