Ex girlfriend, help

You're not listening.

You don't need to have any paper (signed or otherwise) to be common-law. You usually NEED these papers if you want to prove common-law to CIC when you are applying WITH YOUR CURRENT COMMON-LAW PARTNER.

Just because you don't have any papers proving that you were in fact common-law (which YOU WERE) it doesn't change the FACT...that you were.

You have two choices:
Disclose the previous common-law and deal with your wife freaking out about it (which really does sound ridiculous)- [Yay...right decision]!

or

Not disclose it and wonder...'What if' with each passing day, while you wait for a decision on your application. - [Booooo! Bad decision].

so its 50-50?

so its 50-50?

You're f'n hopeless.

Good luck...whatever you decide to do.

Hello everyone
A simple question: I lived with my ex for about 5 years.
We never signed a paper together, the house rental was not on our names and we didn't joined any bank acc.
Do you think it's necessary to tell it on my application?

Ok...one last idea for you to `consider':

Since most people print a copy of all of the forms for their records...why not answer truthfully on the form that you include with your application, but then answer no on the copy that you can show your wife? It's still wacky that you'd even have to do this, but unless she intends to sit next to you while you fill out every single form...looking over your shoulder, this should work for you.

This way, it's a win-win. A really stupid win-win, but...
