Hey everyone!
I came here looking for some help and clarification on how common-law works.
My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 and a half years and have been living together for 1 y and a few months. We were going to apply for work permit for me as I had someone willing to hire me and go through the process with me between January-March. My original entry was in June 2019 and applied for extended stay in Oct and have been here since. Everything I’ve had planned fell through because of covid and it’s been hard finding jobs.
Our plan now is sponsorship/PR. What I’m getting confused about is common-law. I’m applying to extend my stay and sending every application together. I haven’t had to do the “On the Statutory Declaration of Common Law Union[IMM 5409]” form with my extended stay because it didn’t apply to us until now.
My questions are:
How does this form work?
How do we prove we’ve been living with each other if we don’t share bank accounts or property.
Will I be able to send all of these applications at once?
Thank you for your time. These might be dumb questions, but I just need a bit help.
