Statutory Declaratin

[Shom]

Hello,

My girlfriend is sponsoring me to move to Canada. We're common-law partners, having just spent a year living together, however I don't know if we have all that much evidence that I was living with her (it's her apartment, and I'm not on the lease) I do have a bank account, and SIN addressed to her apartment, but I was also thinking of having a lawyer/solicitor right up a letter stating that we were living together and having a couple of members of each of our families sign it.

What I'm wondering is, will any lawyer/solicitor do, or must it be a judge or... whatever?

Any information would be greatly appreciated

Use the form ddobro2 provided the link for to declare your common law union, have family members each write their own sworn testimony (no need for a lawyer just have them write it and get their signatures notarized) and it would be even better if you got a notarized letter from her landlord, neighbor, or employer (non-family members) too if they know about your living arrangement.
