Hello,

I have completed my PR application and it is the final stages of processing. However, in a few months I am going to declare my girlfriend of 3 years as my common-law partner. I have already submitted my documents to CIC but I was wondering what documents CIC will request from my girlfriend. We asked CIC over a month ago and they still haven't responded. She is from Japan and we are currently living in New Zealand, so it will take some time to get all the documents. Furthermore, we won't have a permanent address after October, so we would like to get everything sorted out before then. Does anyone know what documents CIC will request and if my girlfriend will have to take an English test?

Thanks so much!
