Dammit I think i just made a mistake in my app then cause we put the date 1/3/13 as the date we entered our common law relationship cause we moved in together on 1/3/12 when i should of wrote down 1/4/13 although i did send them 2 x rental leases. 1 for 1/3/12 to 1/3/13 then 1 for 1/3/13 to 1/3/14 cause we resigned to stay another year in our place on 1/3/13. I hope we haven't made the same mistake as minime# hopefully cic can work out what we mean on that question.
I guess we'll have to wait & see when they start processing July apps
I think you're fine...really.
Think of it this way:
If you were born on 01/01/01, you would have your first birthday on 01/01/02, NOT 01/02/02.
You would be one year old ONE YEAR AFTER YOU WERE BORN, not one year + 1 day. Most people celebrate their birth on the EXACT DATE that they were born, right?
However, if you began living with your Common-law partner on February 29th in a leap year, you would use March 1st of the following year as your official date...I think?!?!

Guys , you are common law since the first day you start living together , sharing the same wifi network , and fighting for the same remote control, and about "who's the dishwasher today " .
You are not common-law until you have been living together, and fighting over the remote control for ONE YEAR (or more in some provinces) , but...I like your `story'.
