Good day, I have just received an email from IRCC requesting that i should fill out a form IMM5409:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX> Official Declaration of Common-Law Union: You must submit a completed Official Declaration of Common-Law Union (IMM 5409) form, bearing the original signatures. You can obtain this form at the following address:https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm5409e.pdf.This must be received at this office by: 2025/06/22

I will try to do it, but i am living overseas and my partner in Canada - am sort of lost based on the requirement that both party needs to sign this form Infront of a notary public, as anyone here gotten this form???

Hello, I'm in the same situation, my partner and I are living in different countries. I'm not sure how we can sign the IMM 5409 in front of the notary. Can I ask how you guys did it?

Yeah, both of you need to sign IMM5409 in front of a notary/commissioner. IRCC wants the original signatures on the same form (not scans). Easiest way: one of you signs and notarizes, mails the form to the other, they do the same, then send it in.

If the deadline feels tight, just send IRCC a webform asking for a bit more time and explain you’re in different countries.

You appear to have only recently applied in 2025. Except for some rare exceptions it is taking close to 3 years to get PR for protected people and refugees /and given the quota there is a good chance processing may get longer not faster. The majority of time is spent with no movement of your file. There could be no change for over a year for example.
