Hello,
My common law partner and soon to be wife had unfortunately overstayed her student visa by 3 years from late 2019 to last month due to a misunderstanding that an eTA was a valid visa and thought that the expiry date was her valid date. As soon as we found out that this was not the case she voluntarily left Canada. We lived together for two years and we are planning on getting married in her home country and then applying for sponsorship. We understand that we will have to be honest and explain about her mistake with the application but I read that I cannot sponsor someone who is inadmissable. I was wondering if this would be the case with my partner as well or if we are honest and provide all the facts and reasoning behind the noncompliance if there is a chance of us getting approved for PR. Thank you..
