Hi Med,
You have to answer what they exactly ask you..in this situation you did not live together before marriage.
Good Luck with the rest of the qsts.

i think you should write on a seperate sheet of paper that before you 2 got married she used to visit and stay with you for more than a month.

[med]

ok aboujassem , but do we consider someone as living with you when he or she stays with you more than a month or what ? plz need clarification

[boujasim]

kidayer? labas 3lek??

listen bro do not mention it as living with you,but do mention it on a seperate paper or in the form,this will let them know that you both stayed 2gether which proves you know each other more.

I would consider it living together when they bring their belongings and call it their home.  Visiting for a month when they know they are going back at the end of this month, I would not classify that as living together.  It is possible that CIC has another definition of living together.  You can call CIC/visa office and ask or you can include a letter of explanation that you did have three visits of a month each in case that matters.
