common law

[Sopunuchi]

ok i will go to the refugee section

 

[YVR123]

i need to give out more info so you guys better understand me..ok,she is still on student visa right now...her mom will be going for a hearing in february next year and if that is approved she will go from refugee status to protected person and if that is done her mom can include her as a protected person in her application..she can then apply for permanent residency

So, yes, her mom can include your gf ONLY if she doesn't become common law with any one.
i.e. common-law is almost like a marriage here. once someone is married, that person isn't a dependent of his/her parents.
I hope you get what we are trying to say.
So if she wants to stay as a dependent so that she can get PR under her mom, then she cannot get married nor becomes common law with any one. Until after she gets her PR (landed as PR).

We understand perfectly.

To recap: Once your girlfriend is common law (i.e. has lived with you for one year), she will generally no longer be classified as her mother's dependent and generally cannot be included in her mother's application. This rule applies to almost all IRCC processes (e.g. family sponsorship, economic sponsorship). You need to find out if it applies to the refugee process.

what if i front date the common law ?i dont quite understand it.but i understand the not being a dependent part..so i guess she has to get the protected person status through her mom and then get the pr on her own

we have 2 seperate leases to prove we are common law..one will say we stated living together in december of 2017 and the other will say september 2018 so maybe we can use the second one as it would mean we started living together 2018 september.

Do not lie to CIC and do not create fake/misleading documents.
They have other ways to find out that both of you live at the same address. move out!
And CIC do check all related documents/applications of the SAME person.
e.g. some member recently got into trouble because his previous application stated that he was married (he said it's a mistake made by the representative) and the current application stated that he's never been married. They keep all records and cross check.

You may be able to get more information at the refugee section. But the impression is that it takes a long time before the process for a protected person is competed and become a PR.
