I have a question about my situation. When I applied for a tourist visa, I was self-funded, and my purpose was purely tourism. At that time, my partner and I were only boyfriend and girlfriend, and we had never met in person. we met online and had only been in a relationship for three months. After my visa was approved, that was when we finally met. I was able to visit Canada four times, and he visited the Philippines once. During my most recent visit, we applied for an extension, which was approved for one year. Now, we are planning to apply for common-law sponsorship in May.

My question is whether the previous stages of our relationship, particularly the initial tourist visa application and the fact that we had not met in person before, will pose any issues or be misinterpreted in our common-law sponsorship application.
 
what's misinterpreted with the fact that you had not met in person before? do you really understand what is misinterpretation?
since you applied as common law, when did you start cohabitated? as long as you can prove it's been one year, you are fine

It's not an issue. You were a visitor. And you guys are not in a common law relationship yet when you applied and when you visited.
