Illegal spouse

How long ago did her status expire? If it was within the last 90 days, she can apply for Restoration of Status (ROS).
If it's too late for that......
There have been many success stories here from people just like you and your GF. For a sponsorship via an Inland application (SCPLC), the applicant will NOT be refused solely because of a lack of status, because of a Public Policy that is [still] in place. It never guarantees that a person will not be removed from Canada, but the vast majority of those without status are left alone, unless/until the application is refused for other reasons.
Once you are married, submit a SCPLC sponsorship application. Since she is without status, she would not be eligible for an Open Work Permit (OWP) until she receives what is called the AIP (Approval in Principle) email from IRCC. She will be without legal status until she becomes a PR.
However, have the two of you already lived together for at least one full year [anywhere], even while she has been `visiting' you in Canada, which would make you a common law couple?
We just got married nd even though we know its a legal marraige but we dont hve enough evidences to prove it. So m worrying about rejection
If you got married in Canada legally, it's not an illegal marriage.
It's just that your spouse is "out of status".
Good luck with your sponsorship applicaiton.
I think the OP meant that they do not have much/any evidence of it being a genuine relationship/marriage.
oic. I misread OP's reponse.
If he's really worry, then he can defer the application until they have more evidence after they got married.
But since OP's spouse is out of status, I don't think they should wait.
Doesn't sound like it, unless she applied for Restoration of Status within 90 days.
What type of relationship history do you have and what type of documentation do you have? Pictures? Have you lived together for a long time? How did you meet? How long did you date before getting married? How long have they been in Canada and what is their status history? These are the types of things that impact approval. IRCC must be sure that this is a genuine relationship and not a relationship ship to gain status in Canada.
