Hello,
I have just been refused OWP after applying as Common-Law. My partner is in Canada already and has a skilled job. I am now still in Czech Republic. I did not want to go there without status. We have signed the Common-Law declaration which is notarized.
The application was refused, because apparently I provided little proof of us being common-law. However, we have been together for 6 years now. In our country, its uncommon to have joint bank account, my also live at my parents, so no lease agreement. We have one year lease agreement from 2016 where both our names figure, but its in Czech. Should I translate it to English?
Also, can I include photos, Facebook etc to support our relationship? Like showing them that we have been together during Christmas, family reunions, etc. Also flight tickets and pictures from holiday? What else?
I am really sad, because we have been away for 4 months now and I have been refused, which will further delay my arrival into Canada. I have already booked flight tickets for 2nd of August hoping my application will be granted, so now I am really confused as to what to do...
Thanks for any help!
