Hello,
I got my PR card 6 months ago and I´m currently living in my home country. I´m looking for a job in Canada, so I can move there and start a new life.
I was single by the time I applied for the PR card, but now I have a common law partner (we´re planning to get married) and we want to move to Canada together. Can I sponsor him if I didn´t include him as my partner in my application?
Any suggestions on what would be the best way to approach this situation?
Thanks very much for your help!

A common law partner of six months does not one make. Takes a year. Marry him and sponsor him while your residing in Canada.

Hi Roy, thanks for your response. Does that mean that I should go to Canada by myself first and sponsor him while he´s in our home country? Can he come with me with a visitor visa?
I´m also wondering if I can qualify as a sponsor since I can´t show my income in Canada of the last 12 months if I plan to sponsor him as soon as I arrive in Canada?
Thanks very much for all your help.

yes, you need to go to Canada by yourself. He may or may not get a visitors visa - I doubt it. Regardless, you should apply as Outland.
Income is not a criteria for sponsorship but you do need to show that you can support him.

Thanks very much for the information. So basically I need to find a job in Canada with enough income to be able to demonstrate that I can support him and myself? how much do I have to make in order to meet that requirement?
One last question, once I get married, when and how do I have to inform the Canadian immigration office that I changed my status from single to married?
Thanks again, really appreciate your input

there is no minimum income requirement.
you don´t need to advise CIC on your change in status after you have landed.

non married sponsorship (in reply to: Sponsoring if I wasn't married when I got my PR?)
Right, there is no minimum income requirement.

make sure your landing is complete before any marriage occurs.
