Hi,
My Canadian boyfriend & I are going to apply for Common-law Partner Sponsorship ( within Canada Application). We have been living together since I came to Canada with a work permit in 2010 April. We would appreciate if anybody could help us with the following questions relating to some of the required the application forms.
1. IMM 1344: Part 1. Application to sponsor and undertaking
- Question 6 (c) : If you are in a conjugal relationship, provide the date on which you entered into the relationship
- If we are common-law partner, we don’t have to enter this date, right?
2. IMM 1344: Sponsor Personal Detail
- Question 8 (c ), If are you in a common law relationship, provide the date on which you entered into the relationship
- According to the guide, it says that “this is the date your status "OFFICIALLY" changed from being single to common-law, NOT the date you started living together." Should I put down the date after one year of living together? Or should I put down the date we sign the statutory declaration of common law union form? hh
3. IMM0008: Application Details
- Question 4: Immigration office requested for processing this application
- We are applying for PR under common law sponsorship WITHIN canada, which immigration office should I put down?
4. IMM0008: Personal Details
- Question 10: Current country of residence: The dates you have been living in your current country of residence ( Dates : From – To)
- I have been living in Canada since 2010 April, but during this period, I have renewed my status from “worker- student- student- and currently again a worker”. Do I put down the date of the original entry to canada with my initial work permit (2010 April) as “FROM”, or should I put down the issue date of the current /most recent work permit as “from”? What date should I put down as “ TO”- should I put down the expiry date of the current work permit or Should I put down the date of signing this application form?
5. IMM5406
- Section A & Section C: Write the personal details of “ Common law partner”” Mother” “ Father”, “Brother/Sister”…etc.
- I am applying for PR under common law sponsorship, do I include my boyfriend ( who is my sponsor ) as “Common Law partner”? in this section? Also, my mother, father and sisters are all living in Japan, and they have no intention of immigrating to Canada, do I still have to put down their information??
6. IMM 5669: Question 4 & 5
- “Personal details of father and mother” – My parents are residing in Japan, and they have no intention of immigrating to Canada, do I still have to put down my parents’ information here?
7. IMM 5710 : Application to change conditions, extend my stay as a worker
- Question 3. I am applying for one or more of the following: Option below
- A work permit with the same employer OR An initial work permit/work permit with a new employer
- I am applying for common law PR, currently working with post graduation open work permit. I was told that by including this application with PR application, I will be able to get an open work permit. Should I pick “Work permit with a new employer” as I am applying for “ Open work permit” even if I continue to work for the same employer?
Thank you so much for your help!
