A question regarding common law

[rhcohen2014]

lol, we will ensure that we send in the most up to date editions of the forms possible!

As a secondary question...
Say we waited until May to put in the common law application, when we have a joint lease dating back for a full year.

We intend to get married sometime toward the end of this year, probably, when friends and family from the US and Eastern Canada can attend. If we submitted a PR common law app in May, and then got married in October or November, before our case is approved, what happens when we update our file by sending in evidence that we had married? Does processing start over from the beginning?

no. it continues processing as normal. getting married, and supplying proof of marriage doesn't automatically switch your application to a married spouse. it will stay the same. the only "impact" is that it will probably stregthen your relationship validity.

And if processing were to take any longer than that, is it possible to get a post-graduation work permit with an application for PR pending? Currently, it seems I will likely graduate in January of 2016, which is as long as my study permit is valid for. I understand with US timelines, an application going in in May could realistically be fully processed as soon as November. But, in the event that it isn't, does it take a PGWP to fill in for the idle period between graduation and (hopefully) PR approval off the table?

yes, it's possible to apply for 2 visas at the same time. one has nothing to do with the other. and th PGWP doesn't impact the spousal pr. though, once you get pr, your PGWP would probably be cancelled out assuming you get it before the PR. remember us applications are currently taking 6 months or less to process. keep that in mind when applying for other streams. it may not be worth it.

I'm in the same boat having a hard time getting td Canada trust to write a letter stating I lived at the same address as my commonlaw when I opened my checking account back in dec 2012, would a letter from her grandma whose house I was staying at with my commonlaw partner be sufficient evidence I. Egan cohabiting with her at that address from dec 2012-dec 2013?
