Hello everyone!
I'm a Canadian citizen living abroad and I'm planning on moving back once I can and sponsoring my boyfriend to do so aswell (we have all of the requirements to prove the common law relationship and my intention to move back).
My question today is regarding a special situation. He tried moving to Canada a few years back (we didn't even know each other back then) and immigration found out that he was intending to work on a visitor visa - I've contacted someone from immigration and found out that he was considered "allowed to leave", given the option to leave rather than being written up under the immigration act. So now, about 4 years later, do you think this will create a problem for the sponsorhip application? Our documentation is solid, by the time we submit everything we will have lived together for over a year (with a house rental contract under both our names), bills, letters, you name it, going to the same address for each of our names.
Thank you in advance.
 
The incident from 4 years ago should not impact your application - however there is a chance he may be scrutinized a bit more closely since he had tried to work illegally in Canada in the past. Make sure you include plenty of evidence to demonstrate that your relationship is genuine. This is what CIC will be looking to verify (i.e. that he's not just looking for a means of getting to Canada).
 
That's good to hear.
We're putting together quite alot of evidence so hopefully it will be more than enough!
Thank you!!
