Common law inquiry

[stephen92]

So my gf and I are considering applying for commonlaw. We have lived together for 1 year, been out of the country on holidays have photos together and started a business last month together

1 she isnt on my lease she just pays her share. Can i ask my landlord to sign a letter syaing yes she has lived here for 12months ? or redo a lease and back date it?

2 we dont have any joint accounts due to tax reasons from her country.

Can we do the application ourselves? My lawyer quoted me 10 grand for lmia + express entry or 5ish for commonlaw

How can my common-law partner and I prove we have been together for 12 months?
