Hello everyone,
I would like to seek advice from all of you regarding my case.
I got my PR Dec 2017 under live in caregiver I am the principal applicant. I included my exhusband and my daughter. My ex and I have been over since 2012, but I managed to include him in the sponsorship since I dont want to go through the stress fighting over custody of my daughter. They both landed Feb 2018. He went back to the Philippines after a month and never came back.
We both have our own relationships with other people. Now, my boyfriend for 5years came here in Canada as tourist and had his TRV extension refused, in the hopes of buying time to get my divorce, unfortunately he didnt get his extension.
We plan to get married after my divorce, my question is there a certain number of spousal sponsorship should I consider?

Thank you so much!
 
As far as I can see, you committed misrepresentation by sponsoring your husband years after the failure of your marriage. If you try to sponsor your boyfriend, you will have to disclose that you've been together for 5+ years at which point your previous misrepresentation will become obvious.
 
I understand that was the same information I have been getting. It was entirely a stupid decision to include my ex. I was not aware of the circumstances.
Is there any fix to this?
 
Also, I am getting advices that we dont have to disclose the length of our relationship, we could say that we just met for months. I dont know what to think anymore. Lots of questions jn my head, if I can sponsor a second spouse, do I have to wait for 1 year to file for a divorce? Can I sponsor him in the future even he is out of status?
Thank you so much for your time in reading my concerns.

You're trying to fix the fact you committed misrepresentation in your first sponsorship by committing misrepresentation in your second one as well. You won't get support or advice regarding this on a forum full of people going through this process legally and properly.

Lying to the Canadian Immigration can only get you in trouble. You got away with it once, but I wouldn't count on getting away with it again. Your boyfriend should probably find a way to immigrate on his own because if Immigration figures out you lied on your first application, it could put the whole thing in jeopardy. Worst case scenario, you, your first husband and child get your PR statuses revoked.
 
I understand and thank you for being straight. I have been mislead on my application to include my ex. The advice on having my boyfriend apply on his own I think is a great decision we have to look into. Such a great mess I got myself into.
Thank you so much
 
You did not sponsor your first spouse. He and your daughter were included in your application for PR as your dependants. Your spouse is not under sponsorship, so sponsorship rules and limitations in terms when you can sponsor your current partner etc do not apply to your situation.
 
If at all possible, your current partner should apply for PR on his own through an economic immigration stream like Express Entry. That's the best option for avoiding problems.
