Sorry guys to bother you
my partner (the sponsored) will apply for a 'mobility program 2010' from Italy to Canada, in order to stay with me during the application process as common law (as a Canadian PR i am obliged to send the papers in Canada, and we are going back to Montreal at the end of november). In your opinion, should he mention in his application, as a proof that we will continue to be common law partners (meaning living together?)

anyway, even without this mobility visa, I would like to know if we are still considered as common law partners considering that we will continue to live together with the only difference that in this case it would be two different houses (i.e. my partner is staying with me for one month in Canada for all December, and I am traveling in France for 1 week- 10 days maximum each month).
We already lived together for 15 months in Paris, we put together all our applications papers and proofs of genuine relationship (6kg of documents, pictures, phone bills etc) and I just would like to know if this 'physical' change will have consequences on our application.

thanks a lot of sharing
 
As far as I understand you don't have to live together when the application is being processed, but I'm sure the CIC would appreciate you telling them that you'll stay together for the duration of the application process. Also, telling them that the applicant is applying for a mobility visa couldn't hurt.
