Hello everyone my gf landed last week as PR and we guys lived together for 1.5 years. She haven’t included me in her application as I applied my own pnp . But now we want to get married and start a inland sponsorship application.
1-Is there any problem she can’t sponsor me because we was common law that time .
2 -And also we got married yesterday and have lot of proof of our relationship
3- I’m so scared that VO will exclude me because that time i was common law .
Any help regarding this topic will be much appreciated

Thing was when my gf applied her pr she filed as single and haven’t included me in her app but when she landed it was already 1.5 years we lived together. She haven’t included me because i was trying to get through skilled worker category. But now we got married want to apply as married couples not common law

Yes - unfortunately you have a big problem. You and your girlfriend were common law and she should have added you to her application before landing and becoming a PR. Because she failed to do that, she can never sponsor you. It doesn't matter that you are now married. You are forever excluded from being sponsored by her.

You need to look into getting PR on your own by applying through an economic immigration stream like Express Entry. It's not possible through your (now) wife.

Did you declared to them you were common law relationship in your pnp. If not then why are you worried. Whatever information you provide to them is what they would access you on.So think about it carefully. If not consult your lawyer before you make any application further.

Beyond stupid that you ignored the advice that you were REPEATEDLY given. It doesn't matter that you got married. Your spouse committed immigration fraud and you are forever excluded from the Family Class.

Yeah, you’re hooped for spousal sponsorship. And misrepresentation is an ugly thing to have hanging over both you heads. There’s no statute of limitation on it, so at anytime in the future, whether a PR or citizen, IRCC can pursue revoking your status (or your gf). Definitely a bad life choice if you were advised otherwise in advance.

You should probably consider withholding advice until you understand the implications better.

“Newcomers who failed to declare immediate family members as they first came to Canada were barred to sponsor them. Today, we right that wrong,” he said.

IRCC defined sponsors covered by the pilot as resettled refugees, those conferred refugee protection in Canada or those who were themselves sponsored as a spouse, partner or dependent child.

The pilot will run from September 9, 2019, to September 9, 2021 and IRCC said applications that are already in process will benefit.

Sponsorship applications for some family members who were previously banned from obtaining permanent residence under Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations will be allowed under a new two-year pilot, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen, has announced.

The pilot concerns non-accompanying family members who were not declared and therefore were not examined by immigration authorities when the sponsor applied for Canadian permanent residence.These family members have been ineligible for a Family Class sponsorshipunder Section 117(9)(d) of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations.

This lifetime ban has long been a source of controversy, with the Canadian Council for Refugees (CCR) calling it “a significant barrier” to family reunification in Canada.

In a brief on the issue, the CCR said that 117(9)(d) “has a disproportionately negative effect on refugees and vulnerable migrants who fail to disclose a family member.”

Hussen said the federal government recognizes that the regulation was unfair.“

I am aware of this pilot. It is intended to help "refugees and vulnerable migrants". It's not intended to help people who just lied for their own gain.


IRCC defined sponsors covered by the pilot as resettled refugees, those conferred refugee protection in Canada or those who were themselves sponsored as a spouse, partner or dependent child.



OP doesn't meet this definition. Anyway, my advice to him is simple - talk to a lawyer.

This doesn't apply to the OP's situation. The pilot is only open to individuals who came through family sponsorship or the refugee process. OP's girlfriend immigrated through an economic immigration stream. So pilot doesn't apply.
