Yes, it is possible for a person who is separated from their spouse but not legally divorced to be in a common law relationship and sponsor a common law partner. List your partners marriage status as separated and include a letter explaining the situation.

ah okey,,,Thanx leon,,so all we need is to send a letter explaining everything,,no other supporting documents needed???

You will still need to provide additional supporting documentation to prove your relationship is genuine such as: photos, communications (e.g. emails, texts), letters from family, joint bills, joint policies (e.g. insurance), proof of joint travel, proof that you live together (and that you have lived together for at least a year), etc.

oh yeah,,we are in process gathering all this docs now,,,,you dont realize how hard to gather evidences till you get there,,hopefully everything will work out fine,,,

we dont have too much pic,but we have joint lease,joint bank account and insurance which i have him as my beneficiary and he has me as beneficiary...i will print the emails we were sending to each other and collect all the cards sent to us,,,,,

you think this is enough then??

Everybody needs to send supporting documents. This letter is in addition to those.

Almost same situation here (not same sex tho). I am the applicant and my divorce isn't finalized yet. If I am applying under the Family Class Common Law category, should I put that my marital status as common law since I have been in a common law relationship with my sponsor? And he as well will put on his Sponsor Application that his status is Common Law even tho he filed his taxes as single? Or should I put my status as separated? So confusing on these questions sometimes.

You put common law for existing relationship and include evidence of pending divorce for the 'have you been married before question' - we sent a copy of the petition. He should declare common law regardless of tax status.
