Hi guys,
I am hoping to get to Canada with an Employer-Specific Work Permit and I have a few questions about bringing my spouse with me
Quick intro: I live in the Czech Republic and I have been working for a Canadian employer for over 8 months as an account coordinator (junior role in marketing). I have been dating my girlfriend for over 6 years. We should be common-law partners. We have lived together for over a year (We have the same address on our insurance cards) but we don't have that many other proofs.
From what I saw, I can include my spouse's application for a Spousal Work Permit on my application for LMIA Work Permit. It basically says "Do you want to submit an application for a family member".
Common-law
Any answers are appreciated.
Thank you,
Sky

- What's the difference between applying together and my spouse applying separately?
- What's the recommended process? Do it together or separately?
- I am asking because if we apply together, I might need a "stronger case" because we'll have to persuade the immigration officer to approve 2 people at once. (Hope that makes sense)
Common-law
- Are there any resources and/or best practises for what to do for the common-law declaration?
Any answers are appreciated.
Thank you,
