Hi everyone,
I would like to have some feedbacks on if you think that my girlfriend and I are meeting the requirements for a common law partner sponsorship.
Here is our situation:
I'm a canadian citizen and she is Colombian.
We are living together in Bogotá, Colombia since february 2020. We are not renting our own appartement, but instead, we are renting a room in a shared appartment (where we recently moved, before, we were renting a room in a shared house). We did not sign any contract, for both rooms.
She is currently working. I'm not (I'm currently living on some savings from my previous job).
We don't have a joint bank account, but we do share expenses (rent, food, activies, etc.).
We are planing to wait until february 2021 to submit the application (we will have lived together for a year by then), then I would come back to Canada a while to work, and would come back to Colombia until my girlfriend could come to Canada.
Do you think that our relation would be considered a common law partner relationship? Or would the absence of a rent contract, or the fact that I'm not working would be a problem? Also, I'm thinking about going to Canada for a period of 2 weeks in december to see my family, and come back to Colombia after. Would it affect the status of our relationship?
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Thank you
