Can common law relationships exist before 18?

[k.h.p.]

Then you can include a letter of explanation and state that it was common-law. They get it, it happens.

You absolutely have to use Canada's definition. Some countries don't even have common-law status and Canada's definition is what you use when you apply to immigrate to Canada.

If your jurisdiction said common-law only exists after, say, 32 years of living together whilst singing a specific song and doing a specific dance on the anniversary of cohabitation, and you forgot the words on the 27th anniversary, Canada's definition would still apply.


They won't get confused thinking it's a marriage because the part you're talking about literally asks about common-law relationships, right?

For the final question - you put in what you know, and you attach a letter of explanation saying you don't remember the precise date of birth.

Or I suppose I should ask - can we use the "****" format for unknown parts of the date of birth, or should we just leave it blank or take a stab at the date and notate that we are not sure?

Let me know. Thanks!

Depends on the form. Some require an actual date to validate.

Thankfully, this one doesn't require validation.
