Sponsoring common-law partner from inside Canada post my AOR.

[YVR123]

I know i dont have a choice, thats the only reason i am here looking for a correct way to proceed with it.

All are just saying you have to, you need to, you should...... well i know all that already. I want to know if CRS changes! yes or No.

If yes then i'll have to do it through a lawyer who can guide well, if no then i can do it by myself.

Anyway, thanks for the help

BTW your title is misleading. If you want to ask the same question in EE, change it to the actual issue. Again, you are NOT sponsoring your common law partner. You are trying to add him/her to your existing application.

Adding common law partner to your EE application after AOR. I think it's a pretty common thing. (btw becoming common law is also a martial status change)

You were sponsored to be a PR through a common-law sponsorship in 2019 and in 2021 you want to sponsor a spouse? You bet they're going to ask questions.

To add to the above, you will have to disclose this and they will see this anyways. You should tell your spouse now before it comes up during the application process (and it will). Better not have it be a big surprise.

I will definitely add this info in my file but if interview comes up then did officer ask my spouse about my common law. Is there any possibility

Yes, we've seen this happen before. It can impact your chances negatively if your spouse won't know important information like this about you.

Thanks. So if not this way, the only option I'll have later on is to sponsor him after we get married right? But I'll surely want to add him now as my Common law partner if its the right way (which he'll be once 1 year is over).

What about my CRS score? will it change?

Thank you.

if you completed 1 year together (which means you are in Common law relationship automatically) then it's already time to inform IRCC via webform. You will have 2 options where you want to add him as a co-applicant (aka accompanying partner) - so you both will get PR together, this will reevaluate your CRS score, if the new score is higher than your ITA cut off then you can continue your application. Another option is you just inform them about your common law partner as non accompanying partner, just you get PR, no changes to your score.
In either case, you need to inform IRCC and your partner will assessed as much as an applicant. so he will need to submit all docs like PCC, medical, education etc
