Since he is older than 22, he does not need to be included on the PR application but he must be included on the additional family information. If she wants to include him on her PR application, she can still do it if he is a full time student and not married.
But he wouldn't meet the definition of dependent because he's not dependent on her.

Thanks for your reply, just a another question. If I am in Canada while the application goes through in the UK, will I then have to return to UK when it is finally approved to get some sort of stamp in my passport?
Nope, you could send your passport for that via post or courier. You would have to go to the UK if you were asked to do an interview though.

OMG !!! Too long to wait to be with a loved one!!!!We are already apart for 2 yrs, i am not even able to get a visa to visit him!!!!! i am hopeless....don´t know what to do...
It's unfortunate but your choices are limited to him moving back to your country, appealing, or re-applying with a very strong case built as to why you should not be excluded from the family class so that you are not refused based on res judicata (already decided). Don't be hopeless. Be strong and use your energy to get a positive end result.

hi everyone!

in the sponsorship agreement form, it is stated there that the sponsor is financially responsible for the sponsored person for three years regardless of life events which includes breakdown of the relationship.

Given that the sponsored person is now a landed immigrant and a PR card holder through the sponsorship of the common-law partner. What will happen if the relationship breaks down within the three year sponsorship agreement? will the sponsored person be able to marry someone else and sponsor the new spouse even if the three year sponsorship agreement has not yet passed?

please advise. thanks!

If the marriage breaks down, the sponsored person can marry (after getting divorced naturally) and sponsor someone else even within the 3 year period but the sponsor can not sponsor a new spouse until the 3 year period is up.

Hi there! I have a question regarding spousal sponsorship. My husband filed his sponsorship for me on July 12 and it was received July 14. The sponsorship was approved in August 16. They sent it to Buffalo for PR application. They started processing my PR in September 3. Now, my question is, since my husband's sponsorship is already approved, would I be able to work while waiting for the result of my PR application? Or I'm not allowed to? Anybody? Please

No, you can't work at this stage unless you have a valid work permit.

I was a live-in caregiver before my husband married me so I have a work permit. Would that count? My work permit expires November, 2011.

Applying for PR does not change your work permit. You can still work for the employer listed in your work permit.

I resigned from them when I was on my last trimester of pregnancy because they had to hire another one. So I guess I can't work til my PR application has a decision then?

If you get another LMO you can apply for a new work permit. Otherwise you have to wait until you get your PR.
