Ok, I think I can sort out the lease stuff... Any idea how far back I could go with the pics, we have them from 2007...

Great forum with very knowledgeable people who respond quickly! If you were in my shoes, how would you present it? I have a lease agreement with both of our names running from June 1st, 2011 until May 31st, 2012. Her passport says entry to Canada June 23rd... (and most likely departing the...

The reason I ask is not to pull a fast one but rather to make sure the 11 months in Canada and 1 month in Korea looks legit and doesn't look dodgy at all. So it's not clear to me how a lease agreement, bank statements, etc. will prove our 12 months in this case... Any ideas?

This is kind of a stupid question but once we have the lease agreement, bank account, testimonials and so on, how does CIC derive 12 months out of that?

Thanks very much, that's good to know. We do have the required documents (ie rental agreement, bank statements, and testimonials) How key is the one month in Seoul immediately following 11 months here. I am just imagining a situation where the time off work doesnt work out (say I get July...

Ok just to weigh my options so I can make the best decision that will lead to the fastest solution. Currently, we have been together since June 23rd, 2011. As I mentioned previously, she was planning to return in January to visit her family. I might be able to convince her to stay longer...

As I weigh my options, I am wondering if we were to do a civil marriage at city hall in Montreal, what is the type of support that is expected to show it is genuine? I ask because my family is in Western Canada and her family is in Seoul. Will a simple marriage certificate with little fanfare...

Hmmmmm, one more question: does it matter if part of those 12 months were when I was separated and some were when I was divorced? Thanks for your time and patience!

Thank you very much for your clear explanations. I will have to weigh our options carefully. Going the marriage route is bit nervewracking given I am fresh out of a complicated divorce. She is planning to go back in January to see her family. I am thinking of convincing her to stay until...

Egads, could we qualify as conjugal partners?

Is 5 months a year considered to be short? She couldn't legally stay longer in Canada than 6 months and I couldnt leave my job for more than a month... I hope there is a way, marriage at this point makes me a little gunshy...

And conjugal partner?

Here's my story: I have been separated for more than 3 years. During those three years, I met, dated, and lived with a South Korean. She has only ever had tourist status in Canada. Each of the three years, we lived together for the sixth months that she stayed here and then returned to...
