Please I would appreciate some help with common law

Just be sure it is working out 'legally'. Many of these consultants will tell you exactly what you want to hear to get your money but they can't back up their claims as they have no more sway over CIC than we do sitting here at our desks.

Good luck to you, though.

Yes, i'd be very curious to hear what their "solution" was. Based on his story, the only way would be to flat out lie and commit misrepresentation.

Many consultants/lawyers know very well they will make a ton of money off you if you submit an app, have it denied, and then go through appeals process. It's in their best interest to see you fail and keep extending the time you need their services, and they get paid either way whether or not you end up succeeding in the end.

Hi all, I would like to ask an opinion to the experts. This is my situation, my girlfriend moved to an apartment in 2010 to 2012 and the lease was under her name, and I moved in with her, I applied for my permanent residence under Canadian Experience class in 2012 and I landed in January 2014. In 2013 we moved in to a new apartment together with both our names on the lease and its been 1 year, now I would like to sponsor her under common law. My question is, if we lived together from 2010 to 2012 but we did not have any joint bank, lease or joint credit cards, but on my Canadian Experience class application I had my girlfriend previous place under her name as an address on my PR forms. Now is there any problem if we both had same previous addresses on the common law application?

Hi, May I ask what happened finally with your case?

Have you read about the new pilot project?
"The federal government is launching a pilot project that will allow a legal refugee or immigrant who has failed to declare a family member the chance to sponsor undeclared immediate family members."
