I have received an ITA as a single and have my documents ready to submit, need to do this urgently as the ITA is about to expire. In August there will be a year after I have moved in with my girlfriend, so I apparently I will have to notify the IRCC about the change of my status from single to common-law. However, what bothers me is how to prove that we were NOT living together for a year by the time of AOR? I will have a lease agreement with a date and a bunch of mail, but we've been dating for more than a year before moving in and it will be tricky to prove that we've been living together for exactly a year.
As far as I know, in case of getting married, you have to notify the IRCC and if all goes well, your spouse will be allowed to go to Canada with you. How about the same case, but with common-law? What are the risks?
P.S. well, maybe I would decline the ITA and get another one with my common-law when we reach a year, but due to COVID-19 I am not sure the FSW ITAs will be issued soon, so would not like to waste it.
