hi,can someone who entered Canada illegally be sponsored by his canadian wife? they got married 8 months ago,my cousin was in the US and was ordered deported,he did not get deported because my country was not issuing travel documents back then,so he was released,given a work permit but had to report with at immigration office every 6 months. He managed to make it to canada(not under his name) and wants to restart his life. Any advice or similar case will be greatly apreciated :o
 
He can absolutely be sponsored - but should expect a long and drawn out process due to his immigration history. He should provide as much evidence as he can to demonstrate his relationship is genuine and has not been entered into primarily for the purpose of obtaining status in Canada. The fact he entered Canada illegally under someone else's name complicates things further.

He will need to ensure he's 100% honest about his immigration history (including the illegal entry and US deportation) in his PR application for Canada. If he misrepresents anything, he'll likely be looking at a refusal and five year ban from Canada.

Thank yo Scila. Would you advise to get him a lawyer then?

That's a personal choice. A lawyer can't fix issues from the past or change laws. All they can do is help you to fill out the forms.
