COMMON-LAW APPLICATION QUESTION

[mc1234]

Hi all,

I have a question about the statuatory declaration of common law with my mexican CL partner.. I read on another thread that a person had sent in the application along with the statuatory declartion earlier then the one year date (maybe a month or so before) and then by the time it got to Mississauga it had past the one year mark so it was valid, is that okay to do? A little confisued and need some help! thanks!

I believe it should be as of the date the application is signed not the date CPC-M starts processing it, bcuz in the case where they were processing it as they receive it they would not have met the common-law requirement if u look at it that way.

Yeah that's what I thought too so questioned it when I read it in another thread. So I am right to think that the common-law Couple must have lived together for a full year from the date it is signed on the application, which makes more sense.

[Kedeisha]

yes, because the date you sign the application is the date you are saying everything is correct and true so if you have not met the requirements at that time of signing personally I would advise against it

Of course, the last thing we want is to do something wrong/uncorrect on the application which is why i asked  Thanks a bunch!
