Hi. My common law and I are planning to apply for Canadian Citizenship this year since our PR is expiring March 2020. We came in Canada as PR March 2015 and during that time until current, I was the only one working. During our first year, my common law partner worked several jobs but wasn't able to maintain employment because of some circumstances and he also wasn't getting enough hours from his employers. He got frustrated and wasn't able to find a job. I then got pregnant (2015) and we decided that he would just stay at home to take care of our first born twins (2016) and help me. However, during my pregnancy he wasn't working but he took care of all the home stuff. In other words, he became the homemaker and I was the one working while I was pregnant. It was a very difficult year for us when I gave birth to our twins until current because we were on our own. In Dec 2018, I quit my job and started my practicum in Nursing from Jan-April 2019. Both of us are not working right now since I am reviewing for the boards. Currently, he is trying to look for a job but he is having a hard time finding one. We filed our taxes and did not miss any year since we got our PR. Our PR is expiring March 2020 and we are worried that we may not be eligible for renewal or citizenship because he wasn't able to work and we asked some support from the gov't during our most difficult times as well as my studies.
Did anyone had the same situation? Thank you. I hope you can give us some advice.
