Urgent: Question of Declaration of Common-LAW(IMM5409) for CEC

[Janus]

Hi,

I am filling in the forms and about to send the package... but I am confused with the Declaration of common-law form...
My boyfriend and I have lived together since August 2009. I have the lease agreement for the proof. He is a Canadian, but I don't expect him to sponsor me for speeding the process of immigration.

Can someone please tell me do I have to enclosed the IMM5409 with my CEC application ASAP??? If so, where I can find the Commissioner of Oaths??

Here is the reason really throw me off....
Under the guide for the section of Statutory Declaration and Common-Law Union (IMM 5409):
"Who must complete this form?
This form must be completed and signed by the sponsor and common-law partner, only if the latter is a co-signer on the application."
So does it mean I DON'T have to enclosed this form???

But under the Document Checklist for Identity and Civil Status Documents (#12):
"You must provide the following documents for you and your spouse or common-law partner:
 - birth certificates;
 - legal documents....
 - national IDs, family/household registry....
 - if you have a common-law partner, complete and include the Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union (IMM5409 - original) and provide evidence... for example: copies of join bank account statements, copies of leases, utility bills, etc."

And so, even if I don't have to submit IMM5409, do I still have to submit BOTH of our birth certificates, national IDs (I assumed Canadian driving licence?!!), AND proof of common-law (lease agreement?!)

I am so looking forward the feedback, please and thank you!!!

I believe you can skip this, since your boyfriend is already Canadian. if you want to bring your spouse/common law partner who is not Canadian then it makes sense to do all these formalities.
I would avoid it personally.. Please wait for someone to disregard my comment with a solid reason and then you can decide
