your saying some prettty crazy stuff, I dont even know what your saying? I just want to know more about what our options are if she sponsored me for common law, I didnt think that was so complex of a question. We want to move to the states because I can get a good job there that I already know...

So if she sponsors me for common law would that allow us to both live and work in the states or would we have to stay in canada? like what's the differences between sponsoring a spouse and sponsoring for common law partners? thanks.

Well according to the law, a visitor should not stay in Canada for more than 6 months, so I assume they expect people in a relatinoship to live one place for 6 months, then live in the other person country for 6 months. But like the other person said, if you exit Canada and re-enter does the 6...

Well I know I can apply but will that automaticaly or even really hurt my chances of getting the common law sponsorship? They say you must live together for one year, as in 6 monhs in one place and 6 in the other but I was in no situation to have her live with me, financially, and she was able...

bump

so can we still go through the process of common law sponsorship even though I've stayed in Canada for over a year and can prove it?

Still in Canada, but I've been to the states twice for a week each time during my stay here in Canada.

Thank for the info. Heres the problem, I have lived in Canada with her for over a year without getting an extension or anything. At the time of 6 months, we considered applying for the extension but she was worried that they would reject it and make me go back. She was in no position to move to...

I thought I read that you can only be considered common law if theres a reason why you cannot get married such as the law of your contry or same sex marriagge? If accepted as common law partners would that allow each of us to eventually work in each others home country?

I am really confused to how the goverments of Canada and the U.S. expect my girlfriend and I to live together, date, and work in the same country. This doesnt seem possible to me unless we get married. We are not ready for marriage but we want to live together and both be able to work, not 800...

Can anyone explain the common law a little more? Would that allow us to work in each other's country? Thanks.

Thanks for an honest answer. To answer some of your q's, she knows exactly how I feel. She wouldnt be giving up much where she lives there is very little opporunity and she doesnt have family, she just really loves and wants to be with me. She wouldnt care if it was in Canada or not but Im the...

My post just got really misconstrued. I shouldnt of put that title as my post. Do I truly love my girlfriend? Yes with all my heart. Are we trying to work things out to see if our relationship will last? Yes we are. Listen, love is not the only thing that matters in a relationship, theres a lot...

good answer, thanks. I actually read about that but from what I read, there has to be a raeson why you cannot get married in order to apply as common law partners. We actually are common law right now since I've been in Canada for more than a year. So I dont know if that would help us or not? We...

First thank you all for your answers, I dont expect anyone to tell me that yes you can get away with it because thats the answer I believe. But please dont take me for a bad person, Im not getting paid, we truly love each other im just being logical about long term, I am not naive. Maybe it...

I hear what your saying, being together should be #1 over anything no doubt. But let me ask you this, how would they differentiate my case from any other marriage that just didnt pan out for whatever reason? I would not tell them that Im not sure abuout this marriage lasting long term. And also...

How could it be fraud if we truly love each other? There are other issues at hand (she cannot have children for one) that make the relationship lasting questionable. Granted when you get married you must have the intention of staying together forever, so does that mean they arrest every person...

I am a US citizen and my gf is Canadian. I'm not sure about our relationship lasting but I know she would love to live in the U.S. and work there so I want her to have that option. My question is though, if we got married now and she applied for her green card, we went to the states for a few...

I know I have to go back, just that I would prepare differently if I knew I wasnt coming back to Canada for sure. I will just say I didnt know about the time period if they say anything..a simple question really went too far, my original thought was basic in that If I go back to the states and...

Thanks. That scares me knowing that when I go back to the states, the US agent will ask me how long I was out of the country..then what am i supposed to say, 9 months? Thats illegal! I think if I said that, they might say I have to stay in the US for 9 months now, do you think I should lie and...
