Hello all,
My partners daughter (24F) recently (1 year) came to Canada as a dependent, sponsored by her father who has PR. She has recently started dating someone from the UK who has overstayed their 2 year visa. They have decided to live together and she has decided to sponsor him.
My partner is upset by this decision, since they really don't know each other (dating 6 months), and he is worried that she is being taken advantage of. This is both of their first big relationships, and while she has dated before the boy never has. He is also worried that if their relationship ends his daughter will have no way to pay for her apartment or anything else on her own, and he will be responsible for paying for her as her sponsor. She also has some mental health concerns, and he is really worried if the relationship doesn't go well she will get depressed and stop working or taking care of herself. He makes enough to survive himself, but he does not currently make enough to pay half of her rent or bills. He also does not currently live in the same city as her, so that added distance has caused further worries for him.
Is she allowed to sponsor this boy, even though she came here as a dependent? Also, what is the recourse if things go south and my partner cannot pay for her bills as her sponsor?
Thank you!
