Common-Law Partner

[markk308]

Hello all,

I am currently in the middle of applying for my Permanent Residency. I am a bit unsure of one of the "(if applicable)" requirements. This is about how to handle a Common-Law Partner in the application.

My girlfriend and I have been living together for over 3 years now. We rented an apartment together. Only problem is, we do not have much to prove that we having been living together. What we have is a Rental Lease agreement. There are no utility bills or anything like that. Would that be sufficient enough? Also, how much or her involvement regarding her personal information is needed in the application? I wondering if I should even mention having a Common-Law Partner at all!

Thanks in advanced for your help!

Is she a PR or citizen of Canada? If so, then you don't need to include her in your application.

He is asking about mentioning her, not include her in the application? I think she is canadian or resident may be, at least that's what i understand.

So, the question would be if you need to mention her in the application as a sense if you are single or common law or married and then if you say yes to common law then i believe you will have to add the details but not add her in the sense for application as a PR because she is already Canadian. So you would just have to fill few fields regarding her name and passport copy and similar stuff only if the questionarre require that on the forms. Because if you mention that you have a spouse or common law than they would like to see teh details of your partner as well.
