I hear you!! We are common-law as well, and when he came to visit, everybody was saying the same: Just get married!
First of all, we already applied as common-law; second, marriage for me is not that simple, I want a nice reception, not expensive, but cute! And to get married takes time. And we just got engaged. Let us enjoy this stage of our relationship, you know?

haha yes!,
even if we applied as a married couple cic sees it the exact same, you still go through the same process, its the same application and wait times. there is no speeding it up if ur married.

But I agree, marriage is super important to us to, so we didn't want to just jump into it if we had another option.
We plan to tie the knot in the next year or so the proper way

yes no kidding! no need to rush it, if u don't need to!
