Sponsorship for a spouse who overstayed 3yrs

Out of status is not a reason for automatically refusal of spousal sponsorship. I know a person who was out of status for 10 years, and the application was successful. Just make sure to honestly disclose your activity during those years because IRCC wants to ensure you are not inadmissible, and does not pose a threat to the society. Unfortunately, she will not be able to get the open work permit while out of status.
The IRCC isn’t going to suddenly award someone who has been out of status here for THREE YEARS with the ability to work
