Not until you are officially/legally seperated from your previous spouse

You can initiate divorce proceedings from within Canada.

How can I start the divorce? Will it take a lot of money and how long is the process? Can you please give me a referral on how can I file the divorce? Thanks you so much.

Talk to a lawyer. What province are you in? There are lawyers who can help you. Four years is a long time and sometimes relationships breakdown. You can be sponsored under spousal sponsorship if you have lived together for at least a year. You have to show proof that you have "merged" your lives.

No he cannot sponsor you as a nanny to your own daughter.

We are on the same situation. I am married in the Philippines but not legally separated. I've been living with my partner for almost six years and now that we had a baby here in Canada we declared that we are common law partner.
