change of status while application for PR is in process

[betcha]

My husband submitted his application for permanent residence last June 2008. During his application he did not include me as his common law partner because his divorce was not yet finalised and we are only living together for 8months,yet I was pregnant at that time.But in October,2008 right after I gave birth to our son,he called the CIC and informed them that he has a newborn son and living with a common law partner, and they advice him to wait for a letter from the CIC before sending them such information in writting. In January,2009 he got a letter along with his "open work permit".As told,he sent them a letter requesting them to include me and our son to his application along with my son's b-certificate, but they replied and said that they cannot determine that I am his common law partner and they also said that during his application he never mention that he is living with a common law partner. To which he only wait for the time where our relationship be legally recognised and his divorce to be dissolve.We finally got married in August 28,2009. He made a letter asking the CIC to recognise us as his family members and be included on his application for permanent residence.Along with that letter,should we also send them the application for spousal sponsorship,police clearances and payment? Any advice would be very appreciated..tnx

Did you try calling CIC to talk to a representative about this?

That would be a good idea. We actually hire an immigration consultant and her opinion is to send them a request letter first and wait for the response before making an application for sponsorship. We feel that we need to send the request letter along with the application for spousal sponsorship because my working permit will end on April,2010. Anyway,thank you so much!
