Yes, you're right. I didn't want to complicate the question since I thought time spent outside of Canada can't be used for cohabitation. But I was wrong. As long as you stay together, it still counts towards cohabitation. So, I wanted to ask given these evidences: Same flights to and from...

@armoured After reading the official CIC definitions for common-law partners, I now realize that we don’t necessarily have to be physically in Canada to establish cohabitation. During our one-month stay outside Canada, our primary residence remained in Canada since we continued paying bills and...

You're definitely right. I usually overthink immigration-related matters, which makes me extra cautious. In your opinion, do you think our case for the common-law partner route is strong enough, considering our 3-4 week temporary visit to our home country for our engagement ceremony? Thanks in...

Yeah, I meant to ask—although we're applying after June 2025, should we state in the application that we've been cohabiting since March 2024 or June 2024? I want to be truthful and say March 2024, even though we have stronger proof starting from June 2024. So, we’ll apply in June 2025 and...

@armoured, out of curiosity about the common-law partner sponsorship route, I have a question. My partner and I moved in together in March 2024, and they stayed at the place I was renting until May 2024. After that, we moved into the place I bought. My concern is that we don’t have much proof...

Thank you @armoured for such a comprehensive reply. It makes a lot of sense. Good point. We were planning on disclosing this in the letter of explanation anyways. We were thinking of mentioning that we specifically traveled to our home country for the small engagement ceremony with our...

Thanks for your reply. I was considering marrying as well but I thought marriage might appear for the sake of getting a PR especially if we do a court marriage in Canada. Also, I realized that travel history (IMM 5562) is not required as per the document checklist since my partner resides in...

Hello, I am planning to sponsor my partner under the Inland Common-Law PR Sponsorship. Here are a few details about our situation: I became a PR in April 2024 (received my ITA in December 2023) under the CEC class. We started living together in March 2024, at which point my partner ended their...

You got a long way to go. I submitted my documents online in the first week of April and I am still waiting

Hello, I filed 2023 taxes on February 29, 2024 and it still shows "In Process" with no target completion date. I called CRA many times and they had no update at all, just asked me to wait indefinitely. Recently, I called CRA Identity Verification department on 1833-995-2336 and they said my...
