    Two questions about sponsorship

    If that's true, I won't have a valid passport to request a police certificate, so I won't be able to be sponsored. If I return to my home country and renew my passport could I come back in 6 months, marry my girlfriend and apply for PR?

    Thank you for your response. That's better than I expected. For the birth certificate and police certificate I'll need a valid ID and forward the request for these documents to the municipality I'm from.

    Out of status and passport about to expire

    Five years ago I came to Canada to be with my girlfriend. After six months we decided that we would sponsor me. Unfortunately we struggled to save up enough money and I've been out of status for about 2 years now. In the five years that I've been living here, I've been living with my girlfriend...
