As someone else replied earlier, you can try to explain, but I doubt they will grant it because you did not declare him in your original application. He'll have to get a visitor visa or work permit on his own merits.

Thank you! One more question.... What if when he apply a visitor visa can I send him an invitation and mention that he is my common law? With that a statutory declaration of common law attached.... What do you think?

Unless you send a letter along where you explain and try to correct your status or better yet, try to correct your status first before applying for his visit visa, immigration may have some questions about how you being married to someone else at the time you arrived in Canada managed to qualify as a common law partner by living with a different person for 12 months after having arrived in Canada when that particular person was staying in another country.

Leon, by the way, where can I start? I mean is there any form I need to fill out and where?

Thank you again!

I do not know of any particular form to correct misinformation. You'd have to write a letter. I think you would send it to where the work permit applications go. I would try that anyway.
