HELLO EVERYONE AM JUST NEW HERE IN CANADA VIA CAREGIVER ROUTE AND AM ABOUT TO COMPLETE MY 24-MONTH STAY HERE, SO OBVIOUSLY I WOULD QUALIFY FOR THE PR APPLICATION IN A BIT HERE. WHAT I AM CONFUSED WITH IS THE CHANCE FOR MY BOYFRIEND TO JOIN WITH ME HERE. ACTUALLY, HE IS THE FATHER OF MY TWO KIDS AND WE HAVE BEEN LIVING TOGETHER, AND NOT MARRIED FOR 17-LONG YEARS. I JUST DONT KNOW IF WE COULD AVAIL THE "COMMON- LAW-PARTNER" KNOWING THAT HE IS IN THE PHILIPPINES YET, TAKING CARE OF OUR CHILDREN....OR IS THAT LAW APPLICABLE ONLY TO THOSE COUPLE LIVING TOGETHER ANYWHERE WITHIN CANADA TERRITORY?.PLEASE, PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME?.........AM GETTING FRUSTRATED!THANKS AND GOD BLESS!

Hi
PMM
The problem is that you now have been separated for 2 years, so although you lived together for 17 years, the c/law time is now broken. I hope that you mentioned him and the children in work permit application, and included the iMM 5409 declaration of c/law union.dorz said:

Actually not necessarily,If she can document that they maintained joint bank accounts,common ownership of property and she documented that she sent money to him regularly etc,she still has a case that the relationship is continuing
Hi
Common-law partner
You are a common-law partner—either of the opposite sex or same sex—if:
* you have been living together in a conjugal relationship for at least one year in a continuous 12-month period that was not interrupted. (You are allowed short absences for business travel or family reasons, however.)
You will need proof that you and your common-law partner have combined your affairs and set up a household together. This can be in the form of:
* joint bank accounts or credit cards
* joint ownership of a home
* joint residential leases
* joint rental receipts
* joint utilities (electricity, gas, telephone)
* joint management of household expenses
* proof of joint purchases, especially for household items or
* mail addressed to either person or both people at the same address.

BUT WITH HOW YOU GUYS SOUNDED, LOOKS LIKE AM GOING TO HAVE A CHANCE, EY? THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH AND I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING AND LEARNING MUCH MUCH MORE FROM YOU! GOD BLESS AND HAVE A GOOD DAY!
