Hi all,
I am preparing the paperwork to sponsor my boyfriend outland from the US (we are both living in USA, I am a Canadian citizen)
I moved in with him in mid April 2019. We have been living to together since then, however he had to go to an inpatient mental health treatment center in a different city for 6 weeks, starting the beginning of April 2020. Therefore he was away for the last 2 weeks of our first year living together. It was for medical reasons, therefore do you think this would affect our common law status? Should I get a lawyer to ask this question? I know we are not supposed to not disclose everything, but can we not mention it? However, if we don't mention it I am afraid the question of mental health may be brought up in his medical exam and lead to further questioning about treatment, in which case it would be unwise to lie. (his mental health is not violent nor would cause harm to Canadian society)
Any advice is appreciated
Thanks!
