Hi everyone,

Just had a quick question. I applied for my permanent residence in June and received my AOR in July. At that time I had been living with my Canadian boyfriend for a few months. It will soon come up on a year and we consider ourselves to be in a committed common-law relationship with joint utilities, financial accounts, etc. At the time of my application we had not met the 1 year co-habitation requirement for common law but now we have. I was wondering am I required to let CEC know of this? Should I amend my application and include the new forms and documents showing proof of a common law relationship? Also will this negatively affect my application in anyway or cause delays? Will this positively influence my application? I have not as yet heard anything else after receiving my AOR. Any insights would be helpful.

Thanks!
