Spousal Sponsorship

[DGQuaresma]

My wife's father, who lives in Quebec, applied my wife's PR when she was 17. She gained residency in December 2022 and we got married in August 2022. We didn't know we had to report to the Canadian government that she was married. She is 19 now . We asked my father-in-law about it and he said it wouldn't be necessary. When we arrived in Canada, in May 2023, at immigration, the agent informed us that he found out that she had married in the middle of the process and that therefore she would be considered single by the Canadian government - but he did not inform us of the consequences of this. Kitty, who is running our process, told us that the government could consider our situation as ''misinformation'' and that my wife was therefore at risk of losing her permanent residency. I would like to know if there is a way for my wife to sponsor me and not be impaired

She/her father has committed misrespresentation.

Your consultant/lawyer is correct that she is at risk of losing her PR. She wouldn't be able to be sponsored by her father if she report her marriage. She was only considered a dependent if she was single (when landed and becoming a PR). Once she's married, she is not a dependent and cannot be sponsored.

I think you should look into immigrating on your own. Applying to sponsor you will only expose her mispresentation to IRCC back then.

The only way she can sponsor you is if she renounced her PR and then apply for PR and include you as her depenedent under other economic stream. (e.g. EE, PNP) But at your young ages, I don't think she will have enough points/work experience to apply.

You mentioned that "we arrived in Canada". How did you come to Canada? What status do you have? Are you a foreign student? On working holiday? Or just a visitor?

Ela/seu pai cometeu deturpação.

Seu consultor/advogado está certo ao dizer que corre o risco de perder seu PR. Ela não poderia ser patrocinada pelo pai se denunciasse seu casamento. Ela só era considerada dependente se fosse solteira (quando desembarcou e se tornou RP). Depois de casada, ela não é dependente e não pode ser patrocinada.

Acho que você deveria pensar em imigrar por conta própria. Ao se inscrever para patrocinar, você apenas exporá a apresentação incorreta dela ao IRCC naquela época.

Thank you so much for your answer. I hope that theres a good solution for this situation once we are already here

I came to Canada with my visitor visa and she came with her PR

Hello,

So, your situation is one where if she sponsors you, she'll be reported for misrepresentation after you've provided the evidence of that cause for her inadmissibility in the sponsorship application.

If you were issued a TRV, what did you indicate as your marital status on that application?

She can never sponsor you. You must qualify for PR on your own through an economic immigration stream. She obtained her PR status through misrepresentation.

To be 100 percent clear, there is no way for your wife to sponsor you. It is impossible. Yes, your wife committed misrepresentation to obtain her PR status, lying to become a permanent resident.

What is your citizenship? How long a stay were you granted on arrival? As a visitor especially a young visitor how have you been supporting yourself and what are your plans since you won’t be able to remain in Canada longterm? What is your education and job history? How did your FIL get PR?
