Hello
My situation is as follows: I'm a Canadian citizen that went to the UK to study for the last approximately 3 years. Met someone here and am in a common-law relationship. I am trying to sponsor her for our return to Canada next year. I am taking the 'common-law sponsor from outside Canada' route.
I'm wondering whether my application will be affected by the fact that I've maintained residency ties with Canada, filed a tax return every year, etc. There was never a need to sever my residential ties as I'm not earning taxable income here, and I intended to return to Canada after finishing my studies. My worry is that I'm sending an application from someone residing outside Canada, but my notice of assessment/option C printout will of course still have my Canadian home address on it.
Any thoughts or similar experience?
