Hello,
Hi, so the situation is:
at the time I submitted my application, my Canadian girlfriend and I were living together for about 9 months. Therefore we were not 'Common Law' partners (in the CIC defined way) and I did not include or mention her in my application. I far as I understand, from August 2006 she would fulfill the requirements to be a 'Common Law partner'. Until now I have not amended my application or informed CIC Canada in any other way.
So my questions:
1) do I have to tell CIC about the fact that I'm together with a Canadian as my 'Common Law' partner or is this only optional?
2) how would I actually amend the application? Re-submit the forms including her? What other documents would I need to submit for her?
3) would this rather delay or speed up the process?
thanks
