    Are we still common law?

    Okay. I may just go for IEC just to be safe then. One last question ; my partner has already declared common law to CRA... Should I just do my IEC as common law too? Canuck suggested I apply for an extension explaining common law establishment, so I'm not sure if we should list us as single or...

    Are we still common law?

    Okay, and that would really help my situation in a way that we can apply for common law? I can try to gather more documents such as his grandmother's hospital record that would indicate the car accident, the letters and a letter from his employer stating that he could not go due to work...

    Are we still common law?

    Hi Rob, does that mean I can get an official rental agreement signed now, dating from June 2016, or must it be dated now, in July 2017? Thank you.

    IEC eligibility, and will this affect sponsorship?

    Hi, In my previous posts in another sub, I had messed up and it turns out I didn't have one year proof of common law. Right now I'm looking into what I can do to remain in Canada legally so that we can finally cohabitate together for a year and then submit an application for sponsorship. I am...

    Are we still common law?

    Just wondering, I do have a phone bill under my name that shows our address. The date of activation was October 2016. However, that's the only thing I have from 2016 in my name in our address. The phone company is chatr. Would that in anyway help prove us living together, or is that too...

    Are we still common law?

    We had stated in our previous extension we were planning on getting married, and was approved for one year. However, due to the large burden of marriage costs and how we want it to be genuine and not rushed, we changed our minds. Do we state that? And do I just state we are trying to establish...

    Are we still common law?

    Yep! However I know that if inland application is rejected, you can not appeal the case, only resubmit. Outland gives you the ability to appeal if a case is rejected, but if theres interview required, id have to go back to nz. However I was told that it was more unlikely for me due to me not...

    Are we still common law?

    Thank you so so much! I have itinerary showing I landed on a specific date in June 2016. As long as his father, aunt and friends provide letters acknowledging that we have been living together non stop except for the one month break, we are good to go I assume! I feel so much better, thank you...

    Are we still common law?

    Oh my gosh, you don't know how RELIEVED I am! We will get a lot of letters for sure. 100%. They all have to be notarized I assume? I was also away in Calgary from him for 30 days... This was due to an emergency where his grandmother had been in a severe car accident and she was in critical...

    Are we still common law?

    Thanks canadianwoman. My only doubt and fear right not is whether or not an affidavit signed and stamped by a notary public from his father and aunt (his mother does not live in Canada) and close friends is enough to prove that I've been living with him for a year... I truly hope that it will be...

    Are we still common law?

    Does anybody have a rough idea? Up until now we were really confident, but now I'm extremely worried. I am unable to provide my father, mother and sisters information and I haven't had contact in years, nor do I plan on them coming. I know medicals are a must if they're listed but I do not...

    Are we still common law?

    We live with his father and we are getting a notarized translated document stating that we lived together for one year since June. Is that enough? (his mother does not live in Canada.) we do not pay rent or anything to save money, so his father is the only proof. Edit: so I would get the...

    Are we still common law?

    Hi, just want to clear this off my mind. We were initially going to get married but changed to common-law as we realized that we want to save up for a big wedding later on, not a rushed one now. We HAVE been living together for a year for sure, ever since landing in June 2016. However, joint...

    Inland or Outland

    Thank you for the advice. Like I said before, I'm only afraid of an interview as traveling to nz is extremely expensive to us and really don't want to do, while inland has no appeal rights. However, inland does have owp which is really nice as I'd like to support us as well. I read that inland...

    Inland or Outland

    I was told that we should show proofs of common-law, such as beneficiaries for each other. The statutory declaration for common-law also asks if we have each other as a beneficiary, I assumed it was a must to help prove a genuine-relationship. So the answer is no?

    Inland or Outland

    Thanks Canuck! I noticed you're of great help in this community and I really appreciate your time and help. :) Just one last question; We have run into one issue. He is under his father's insurance plan (from his work) as a dependent (child, of course) to help him save money. This means he is...

    Inland or Outland

    Hi, I was wondering if I could get suggestions for sponsorship. I understand the cons of inland is NO appeal, whereas outland is available for appeal if rejected. In my case which one should I go for? (NZ Citizen, living here 1 year with photos, joint bank account, insurance beneficiary...

    Suggestions to help with common-law sponsor

    Thank you for all your help! So I should NOT include chat logs? They are not interested as to how we got together? Only genuine proofs of us together as of now? I always thought they would want to know the roots and what not. I have 0 contact with any families. I still list them but state as...
