Applying Outland as conjugal partners or pls help

[flamesldn]

Hey guys I initially applied for my pr application as an inland common law applicant. I was leaving with my girlfriend at that time for about 2 years the only problem was that I lost my status 6 months before I applied for the Inland application. There was a day that I got arrested because someone thought I was the person they saw. All the charges were dropped and I don’t have any record but when I was arrested the police sent my passport to immigration so I was given a removal order and some day to wait for a decision on my application but it pass the time they gave me I got SA and ADR the Friday before I left Canada. I explain everything to the CBSA official and they told me I had to leave that my application would still be processed.
When I got back to my home country since I realised I had an exclusion order I figured I should withdraw my application and apply Outland. The MP in my constituency told me to leave it that they would continue processing the application. I recently just got refused based on the grounds of not being in Canada at the moment. I am planing on reapplying but I don’t know which process to go through since we aren’t married but been together for 4 years and counting living together for 3 of those years.

Am sorry my message is long I just want to know if it’s better to apply conjugal or if common law can still work .. I have 3 months left on my exclusion order so I would be ok by the time they begin processing my application

I know nothing about the exclusion order related aspects, but if you can document the common law relationship, it should still be possible to apply under that despite not currently living together.

It makes sense the application was refused. You need to be in Canada if applying inland.

You need to file a new outland application as common law (not conjugal).

Ok so I should file it still as common law even if we are not currently staying together

Yes. Breaks are allowed once you have established the common law relationship.

Ok sounds good thanks so much you just calmed my mind another question is there any extra documentation I need to submit or just the regular requested ones.. my medicals would expire in 3 months but I can submit it with my police certificate and biometric that I did already?

Best advice any of us can give you is to follow the application guide. Biometrics will be fine. You need to redo the medical and also the PCCs.

Isit possible that it’s still common law even though it’s been almost a 7months

Yes you will still be considered common law but you will need proof that you were living together for over a year.

Yes we have been leaving together for over 3 years and I can get friends and family to write sign letters about our relationship

You will need documentary proof you were living together - leases, bills, tax returns, insurance policies, government docs, that type of thing. Some demonstration of 'joint household' with shared expenses too.

Letters from friends and family will support the relationship aspect but common law requires demonstrating you resided together. An exclusive and extensive relationship on its own is not common law (by standards IRCC uses).

Read the instructions and guide carefully.

Yes our CRA documents state is as common law our lease the first day we moved in together

That is a start but you need to show more proof that you were living together throughout the common law period. Copies of bills with your name or your partner's name with the date and your address throughout a 1 year period (or over a longer period) will be important.
