What country are the two of you from? And what exactly did the engagement consist of? If it was not something formal that might be construed to be a marriage, you should be fine.

u should b fine from Canada's point of view u were still single when u landed....they don't have "engaged" civil status and u were not married nor in common law (1 year of continous cohabitation)....the most important is that u didn't get married before u landed....like this, u r probably eligible to sponsor her and u can start preparing her application.....good luck!!
