I suspect you will be asked for some sort of solid evidence, proving that you have lived together for at least one year. You probably have ample proof of your relationship, but you also need proof of having lived together. You don't have anything that CIC would accept to PROVE that.
I'd also like to add that his children lived with us for a year (and one currently still does)

That's what you need if you're applying through common law spousal sponsorship, yes. We have proof of our relationship, just not enough proof that supports we've been living together for one consecutive year.

I'm assuming that you are in canada as visitor, since originally coming here have you been applying for extensions? If yes copies of those applications would list your address in Ottawa, same address as your common law spouse, these can be added as proof of address. Also if you are not on the rental/lease in absence of having a rental agreement with both of you on it you can get a statement from the landlord confirming that you are and have been living at this residence since xx/xx/xxxx.

Just a quick question... how intense are the officials about the definition of "common-law"? I've been living together with my girlfriend since the end of December 2015 and we've been physically together ever since, though not in Canada - we have proof of that thanks to pictures and plane tickets. We're coming back to Canada in a couple of weeks together. However we don't have any mortgages, credit card statements, loans or other stuff of that nature showing the same address. Should we absolutely wait for the very first day that we can show some of these proofs? Or is our documentation solid enough as it is?

You can be common-law and live in other countries too. However, you still need concrete proof that you have lived together, such as an apartment lease together, joint bank accounts, statements or bills showing that both of you live at the same address, etc. I'm fairly certain plane tickets and pictures won't be enough.

This answers my question perfectly. Thank you for this

Hi all,

I am sorry to bother you. I am a primary applicant of FSW-2014 and got visa for me, my wife and an infant baby.

Our visas will expire on July 2016. i am planning to land alone in June 2016. For some reason my wife and baby cant land in Ca with me now. Hence, their visa will hence expire after July 2016.

My question, will there be any complexity if I want to sponsor them after 1/2 years?

Thank you

You will be able to sponsor them without issue. However, you will be required to reside in Canada throughout the entire sponsorship process, so you may be away from them for quite some time.

If there is any way for them to land now, you really should try for it.

Yes apply for his visitors visa again, I think due to military background they might have problem with sponsorship but visitors visa might be OK for him.

If you get refusal again then you can visit him because it will clearly indicates that they will not provide him visitors visa due to his military background.

Hope it helps.
