[asegai]

Hi guys am fairly new here just wanted to get your expertise and advise on a matter am currently facing come to the country on a student visa and graduated.last moth i applied for a post graduate work permit and was denied because my study permit expired in march stupid of me didn't realize that because i was looking at my work permit which expired last month at this time i have no status and i have overstayed.however i have been married to a Canadian citizen for over 2yrs,can she still sponsor me? PLEASE HELP.

Yeah, being out of status is NOT something that will automatically halt the sponsoring process, so she should be able to do so, however you might want to consult with a lawyer just to be sure

Yes she can sponsor you. You can be sponsored without having legal status in Canada.

Yes she can sponsor you either inland or outland. If an interview is required and you did outland, you will have to go home for the interview. I'm just wondering why you let your status run out before being sponsored.
