Hello
- Thread starter Beautybest28
- Start date
We re married by common law we had some misunderstanding but now we back together and he wants to come over to Canada to come live with his kids despite being married he doesn't have a green card or SSN in US
You can't be married by common law to someone who is married. He will have to get a divorce and then you can go through the sponsorship process but seems like you may need to get married depending on when you lived together for 1 year. When did you live together for one year? When did he get married? How old are your children?
He got married 10 months ago we got separated during this period but now he wants us to come back does it mean I can't apply for him together with mine??
Definitely not. What about his wife? You also can't claim that you are common law. You were common law in the past but when he got married that becomes irrelevant.
So it means if I go ahead And apply for him will it stop or slow down my PR process or will it be ignored
You’re application would be rejected and you could potentially be held for misrepresentation if you know he’s married yet applied for him as your common law spouse. That would be really bad and would probably result in you loosing your status as well.

If you send an application to include him, he has to include all relevant information about himself, including his current status. He will need t provide fingerprints and an FBI report. He also signs a document tat allows IRCC to do whatever background searches in any country on him. Suffice to say, they will find out.
If you are considering committing misrepresentation, you will find this forum very unhelpfulpful and unwelcoming. No one here will assist you commit fraud.

Ok thanks a lot for the information,but how long will it take for my PR card and that of my 2kids to come if I make the application
Beginning to think the husband's US marriage is a marriage of convenience.
