Ok, we have a crazy situation!
I am a Canadian citizen, and have lived in the US since I was a little girl (my parents brought us here when I was 2). I have been with my partner for over 3 years now and we'd like to move to Canada. I'm going to sponsor him as my common law partner for his permanent residency.
Here's the kicker... well the first one anyway. He is a citizen of Mexico and has a tourist visa for the US. Every time he has crossed the border, they give him a permit to stay, usually 6 months. As most Mexican toursits do in the US, he has overstayed it. At this point it's been about 2 years. We both want to live somewhere and BOTH be legal, and I think Canada's the perfect place for that. Plus I can get to know my native country that I really know nothing about. Will this be an issue with our application?
Secondly, as far as the application goes, the Additional Family Information section had us confused. Orginally, we sent in the app with that part as 'not applicable' (because we have no children), and it was sent back to us. I am now under the impression that we need to include his mother and sisters. Is this correct? Having said that, should we include his stepfather or real fater? Or both? He doesn't really have a relationship with his real father, but it seems like we'd still need to put him on the application. Any advice on this?
Thank you all so much, this forum has been amazingly helpful!!
