Poison asked:
My friend said her bf would bring her back to Canada using Common Law method. How does that work? Is it not better to get married and then move to Canada?

There is no such thing as “common law” method when it comes to emigration to Canada. There are many instances when foreign boyfriends use their charms to lure Chinese girls into foreign countries and force their China girlfriends to be prostitutes to earn money. Be very careful. Check with the embassy concerned.

The asker AQUALUNG’s answer is wrong. There is a common law method that you can use to bring a girl back to Canada
You can sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent children if you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. To be a sponsor, you must be 18 years of age or older.
You can also apply as a sponsor if your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent children live outside Canada, and if they meet all the requirements.
When you sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent children to become permanent residents of Canada, you must promise to support them financially. Therefore, you have to meet certain income requirements. If you have previously sponsored relatives to come to Canada and they have later turned to the government for financial assistance, you may not be allowed to sponsor another person. Sponsorship is a big commitment, so you must take this obligation seriously.
To be a sponsor:
You and the sponsored relative must sign a sponsorship agreement that commits you to provide financial support for your relative, if necessary. This agreement also says the person becoming a permanent resident will make every effort to support her or himself.
You must provide financial support for a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner for three years from the date they become a permanent resident.
You must provide financial support for a dependent child for 10 years, or until the child turns 25, whichever comes first.

Under current immigration laws, in order to bring a spouse or common law partner to Canada, the couple must be married before they could be approved for immigration. It’s what I’ve heard.
