Hello everyone. I’ve been following this forum for quite some time and I want to thank you for all the good you’re doing.
I’m applying for a study permit next year for my Phd, same sex relationships are illegal here but in order to take my partner on an open work permit, we’d have to document and prove common-law. We’ve been together for 3 years and it shouldn’t be hard to prove the legitimacy of it. We’ve just rented a condo for the next year so we can satisfy 1 year cohabitation, and will try to collect mail having the same address as well throughout the year.
My question is, I do not have a bank account while my partner does, I can not open a bank account now due to capital controls in Lebanon neither can he add me to his account. We share all expenses in cash but that of course is impossible to document.
Will monthly money transfers using agencies such as Western Union, OMT; throughout 1 year having both our names on the From;To be sufficient ?
I will of course include the situation in Lebanon and why I can’t join his nor open an account in the LOE, but will IRCC have any issue with this fact: that since we already live together, why are we transferring money to each other using money transfer agencies?
Thank you in advance for any insight!
