So you are in the situation that you want to sponsor your foreign spouse for permanent residency of Canada and don't know where to start. Here are some tips:
Married, common law or conjugal partners
First you need to pick an application class. There are three of them: married, common-law and conjugal. For all of them, you need to prove the genuineity of your relationship. For common-law, you need to prove that you have lived together for 12 months or longer. For conjugal, you need to prove that you have combined your affairs as much as possible but there are real immigration barriers or other barriers preventing you from living together or getting married. Conjugal is the hardest to prove. For example, if your partner could get a visit visa to come to Canada for 6 months and then apply for an extension to get the full year, even though they will not be allowed to work, that is not considered an immigration barrier. An immigration barrier is if your partner tries to get a visit visa to come to Canada and is repeatedly refused. Some people have had luck with the conjugal class but try to avoid it if possible.
Plan to sponsor my boyfriend as conjugal partner

Hello!
I am planning to sponsor my boyfriend as conjugal partner. We have been on a continuous relationship for 6 years. He was married (with a son) before but has been legally separated from his ex-wife. And their annulment is ongoing up to this time. I am also legally separated with annulment ongoing in both of our country (same). I am already a permanent resident in Canada. We wanted to live together. That's why I am eager to sponsor him as my conjugal partner. We did not live together like a common-law partner. When I was in our country, he was in the other country as foreign worker. We see each other only during his vacations in between or after his work contract. There was a time when he was not able to find a job abroad and had to stay in our country for more than a year. I was also there that time but we just see each other when we are going on a date, during family activities, or if he visits my house where my daughter lives. He is staying in his auntie's house. We live separately.
Please I need your kind and expert advice if I am eligible to sponsor him as conjugal partner. Great thanks!
