From what I've read here, if you become PR without putting her in as common law, she will be forever excluded from family class sponsorship. As you are not yet PR, you can still rectify this.

You need to include her in as accompanying partner OR you include her as non-accompanying partner, and once you become PR yourself you sponsor her yourself in a separate application.

You have to tell the visa office that you have a common-law partner and that you want to add her to your application. She can be accompanying or non-accompanying, as mentioned above. In either case, she will have to be included in the application now.

Be very happy you discovered this now, as the others have said, report this and add her to your application.

Yes - huge problem.

If you don't add her to your application now and land with the COPR you have now - you will NEVER be able to sponsor her. You will also be committing misrepresentation by landing as a single person when you in fact have a partner. If CIC discovered this misrepresentation, they may chose to revoke YOUR PR status for lying at landing.

You have no option but to add your partner to your application now.

why are you so hesitant to add her now?

 

[Harrybuttar]

The thing is we didnt show our status anywhere when i applied for pr at first stage.. My status is still single now..we have been living together from last 3 years at same address.. But now we are thinking to get married through civil marriage and get marriage certificate but m confused that we shud do this thing before or after landing.. Plz help me through this..

 

[mikeymyke]

I don't understand, so did you purposely left out your common law status on your PR application? Or did you not know you were supposed to declare? Even now, I don't know why you're still pondering on whether to change your status, when clearly you should be doing that now BEFORE landing. If you declare after landing, you will have severe issues. You don't even need to get married, just tell them you're common law NOW.

If you wait to do it after landing, and it comes up -anywhere, anyhow, at anytime- that you had been living together as common-law partners for more than one year before your landing date, you will definitely be banned from ever being able to sponsor her, and CIC may choose to go after you for misrepresentation and revoke your PR.

You have one of only two ways to proceed:
1. Rectify the situation now (before landing) and add her to the application. This will add a few more months to the processing time, but you -legitimately- receive two pr's.
2. Keep insisting on the lie in order to land faster as a single person. This will entail more lying and fabricating (read: digging a bigger hole for yourself and your girlfiriend, since she will have to lie too) and you assume the risk of having both your pr's denied/revoked.
A couple of examples off the top of my head: when your girlfriend has to list all her prior addresses, won't they match yours? When you submit those same documents you mentioned to prove the authenticity of the relationship and they go back 3+ years, what do you think the CIC will conclude? When they ask you when the relationship started? etc.

It's up to you to choose. But there is no third option out of this (and getting married will have zero effect).

This really is a no-brainer. If the OP doesn't listen to what people are saying, and he lands as a single person...not only will he NEVER be able to sponsor his partner (even if they get married), but he will also have committed misrepresentation and could possibly lose his own PR!

Some people say that a person that does this can later renounce their PR and start all over again, adding the partner/spouse at that time, but I've yet to see a successful applicant that has ultimately done that.

So you lied on your application and you want advice on how to continue lying?
As everyone has said, you MUST declare your partner now. If you don't, you will NEVER be able to sponsor them. Ever. You will also put yourself at risk of being charged with misrepresentation and being banned for 5 years.

 

[Harrybuttar]

So plz tell me what shud i do now

 

[MilesAway]

You have been told repeatedly. Read the previous replies. You must notify your VO that you have a common-law partner and add them to your application.

It seems to me you're not even reading our posts.

If you really did intentionally leave out the common-law spouse off your PR, then that's a shame.
