Proving Common-Law union

[GrayCat]

Hi,

My partner will be trying for a study permit to Canada soon. I‘ll be needing a visa in order to work, which means we’ll need to prove that we’re in a common law union. We have a rental contract which we’ll need to translate to English. My question is - would we need a signature from a notary? Or is it enough to simply translate it ourselves with the signature of the landlord?

Thanks

1. No, you can't translate it yourself.
2. Outside Canada, you need it translated and the translation notarized/certified. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=040&t=4
