We ll make sure to include the details as to why a small wedding was necessary for us and hopefully it goes well. Thank you so much, I hope you don't mind me reaching out to you again if there's anything we don't understand

Thanks for this heads-up, I'll ask her to immediately stop taking jobs in canada, does she have to return the monies she's made while jobs here in canada?

We also have very good reasons for small wedding. Both families are not in canada, for financial reasons and most importantly it's just what we are comfortable with at the moment, we are both introverted and just prefer small gatherings over large one, is it a requirement ti have a big wedding...

I mean build* she builds websites*

She doesn't work for any particular person or company, her job doesn't require work permit as far as I can tell, she holds website for individuals even outside canada and yes she's been filing tax even while out of status and she haven't had any issues so far with that.

Apologies for the late reply, she's self employed, she's a self taught web /graphic designer, that's how she makes money, she files her tax every year also, do you think she should stop working? It's a freelance work. She's Congolese and I'm Nigerian (I'm Canadian citizen tho) and we are the...

Thank you so much, we ll try and gather everything we have, we have joint accounts and credit card statements in both our names also, we were hoping to declare common law with CRA but we haven't lived together for a year yet. But yeah we ll spend the next few weeks gathering every documents we can

That's a great advice, we ll get an appointment with a consultant that can help us. We do have 2 years worth of messages, phone calls and video calls to add to our application also

Thank you, she does have a valid DL but we ll have her stop driving until application is done just to be on the safer side. Thank you very much for your help!! Can I reply to this forum again if there's anything I'm missing or would need help with?

Thank you very much, I have about two more questions if you don't mind Do we have to notarize the letters we got from friends and families? Also since there's a public policy in place, does this means she can drive after we submit the application without fear of being stopped by the cops and...

No no we didn't live together for 12 months, I'm saying we should've started 6 months ago then we'd have less time to wait for common law application..Apologies for the confusion Now that we are married, what do you think our chances are, we basically have almost every document on the...

Yeah that was our mistake for not changing the addresses but now it's too late for us to go through the common law route, we don't wanna wait another year and risk her having to leave, do you think we have sufficient documentations? Or have you heard of people in similar situations getting approved?

About 6 months, because she had a lease, we spent time in both of our places, so sometimes we stay at my place, sometimes hers but now that her lease is done, she's fully moved in with me, it's why we started changing her address and why we plan a getting a bigger place but since I've just been...

Thank you for your response, yes we did have a little celebration amongst our friends with drinks and food. Yes we've met each others parents and they'll be providing letters also...do you think it's sufficient or is there anything else we can add? Unfortunately she did continue studying as she...

Thank you so much for your response!!! We'll get started on the application and submit along with open work permit.

Thanks for your quick response, she arrived in canada as a student and just didn't renew her status, we recently found out about 3 months ago, yes I can ask my landlord to draw up a new lease, we also plan on moving to a bigger space in about 3 months, should we just wait till we move? As for...
