    Common Law to Spouse

    That's my point exactly. Will us not having enough documentation make them think this could be a marriage of convenience. Or are there other factors too?

    Common Law to Spouse

    So if I get married now just 2-3 months before filing for PR. Won't they consider it as a marriage of convenience.? Thanks

    Common Law to Spouse

    Thanks k.h.p and kanoon22. My only problem is, if with whatever common law proofs we have, the officer doesn't find it sufficient, so does my PR also get hurt, given that my partner is anyway non-accompany. Or the declaration is only for us to declare and they don't really scrutinize unless...

    Common Law to Spouse

    Thanks for the reply. But we have only following proof, would they be enough: - Same address on Bank Statements since an year - Same address on DL since 3-4 months since we just got it - Can file tax as Common Law - Can also add him to our Vehicle Insurance whenever he gets G2 in next 2 months -...

    Common Law vs Single in EE

    Also, is there a chance if they don't find enough relationship proof, they would reject my PR too? That's what worries me the most. Please help.

    Common Law vs Single in EE

    Hey, yes we have photos together and we can also get our friends to write for us. But I am worried that we don't have lease, and we don't have utilities bill. Also a lot of proof isn't an year old. We will open a Joint Bank account tomorrow. So if I apply EE in October, very less documentation...

    Common Law vs Single in EE

    The question is how do we prove through documentation. There are feelings but there is no expense sharing or govt related common law benefits. I would be more than happy to state Common Law if following is enough: - Same address on Bank Statements since an year - Same address on DL since 3-4...

    Common Law vs Single in EE

    I dont wish to misrepresent at all. It is considered as Common Law, being living at same address. But that's all we share an address, we are not a marriage like couple living under a roof and sharing all expenses and stuff. My only doubt is if following would be enough for us to prove: Same...

    Common Law vs Single in EE

    All we have is same address on Bank Statements, Telephone Bills and DL (only 2-3 months for DL). What I can do is add him to our Car insurance once he gets his G2 next month. Would that be enough for now.?

    Common Law vs Single in EE

    What if I declare Common Law, even though he wont accompany me, but don't have enough proof to support it, will it affect my PR too?

    Common Law vs Single in EE

    I can declare Common Law just because we are living at same address, but we don't have any other proof as lease in our names our Joint Bank accounts or utility bills. When it comes to proving Common Law, just staying at same address is not enough, but when it comes to questioning Common Law...

    Common Law to Spouse

    I understand, I can say we are Common Law but we don't have enough proof to establish it. So what do we do now? My permit expires in October and I need to apply EE before that.

    Common Law vs Single in EE

    Hi There I am planning to apply for EE right now but I want to apply as Single and not declare my Common Law because of personal reasons. We aren't really a common law, we are more of just dating and live under same roof with other people. I may get married soon to my partner, after I get my PR...

    Common Law to Spouse

    Hi There, Thanks for your reply. So we are living in same house but we are a lot of people living here. And all my worry is if I marry him after my PR and go the Spousal Sponsorship route, would that be okay.. We can tell later that we were dating, but as of now we don't share any expenses. We...

    Common Law to Spouse

    Wow.. thanks a lot for that response. How do I do the first step. We get married now, and then my status changes to Married, but him accompanying me makes us lose points, plus he isn't sure he wants to be here or not. So how do I declare dependent. Thanms

    Failure to declare Common -Law

    I am also looking for similar help. We are in common law technically but going by proofs required by Immigration, we aren't.. so i am planning to get married once I get my PR and then sponsor my spouse. We definitely know each other for long time, live under same roof but not as common law...

    Common Law to Spouse

    This is an Inland Sponsorship. We both live here. My only problem is we don't have enough proof to support Common law, its not about me trying to hide it. I don't want to get stuck because we dont have enough proof. Rather, he would be here on Study Permit and we get married later and then I...

    Common Law to Spouse

    Hi Manny, I am planning to apply for EE right now but I want to apply as Single and not declare my Common Law because of personal reasons. I may get married soon to my partner and then sponsor him later. Would CIC question my choice of not declaring Common Law since they could know by us having...
