Hi, could anyone help me on my situation? I work for a company, let's call it XYZ. Worked for them in Europe, got transferred, that's why I am in Québec.
Arrived with Young Professionals in 2016
Temporary Foreign Worker Program (LMIA) since 2017 - June 2019
My spouse (she has her PR since a year) and I are common-in-law since a few weeks. My French is good (B2), however I failed the TEFAQ and can't apply for CSQ.
Solution 1) If my spouse would sponsor me, could I continue to work for XYZ? If yes, could I keep my current RAMQ status?
Solution 2) Could company XYZ (again) ask for an extension of my current visa?
unfortunately, she hasn't had PR long enough to sponsor you. (edited to reflect information found below) --- there is only a time limit required if YOUR sponsor was previously sponsored as a spouse/common-law/etc within the past 5 years. so as long as that's not the case, it should be okay!
I wish that I had an answer for the other questions.
Hi, thanks for your answer. I don't think that's true. There is no restriction mentioned regarding the duration of her being a permanent resident. As far as I can see, this is not part of the requirements.

ah, I found where I thought it was a time frame until someone could sponsor! It only applies if the person sponsoring was previously sponsored as a spouse/etc within the past 5 years. it's in IM1344E, page 2 question 5.
so as long as they weren't sponsored as a spouse, they can sponsor you.
sorry to panic you! this is one of those cases where I'm THRILLED to be wrong! I just remembered coming across the information about the 5 year period and I must have thought it applied to everyone! it doesn't- which is awesome.
