Hi,
I'm new to the site but was at an exhibition today about moving to Canada and told that we would be eligible for the express entry method, using me as the Principal applicant and my partner as the second, due to my degree, French skills and family there.
The thing is, we aren't married, and in the UK we both separately own our own properties. My boyfriend works offshore (3 weeks away, 4 weeks home) but when he is home we live together either at the apartment mortgaged by him, or the apartment mortgaged by me. His apartment is across the road from my work, so during the week we stay there, and at weekends we stay at my apartment which is outside the city.
I am not on his mortgage and he isnt on mine. Our bank accounts currently are separate, but we intend on adding each other onto our accounts to make them joint. He is on my car insurance however, and a named beneficiary on my death in service documents at work.
We want to apply over the next year and was told today it'd be best to apply together. However we are worried that we won't have enough documents to provide proof of cohabitation. Has anyone been in a similar situation or know anything about it? Any advice appreciated.
Many thanks
