Hello
I already have my residency (Canadian Experience Class) but I am now looking to prove to the government that my Canadian girlfriend and I are in a common law relationship. As we are moving to my home country for a period of time I don't want to lose my residency status if we decide to stay longer than 2 years. The rule states that if you are in a relationship with a Canadian citizen your days out of the Canada count as days in Canada. From what I understand we will need the form IMM5409E Statuary Declaration of Common Law Union notarized and sent off to the CIC. Does this sound correct? If so, which office would I have to send this form to?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
