Dear forum,
I struggled with my situation as some immigration agents told me okay to apply and some said don't apply:
I arrived in Canada on September 27th, 2018 and stayed with my Canadian bf till January 13th, 2019, under a visitor visa; Then I went back to my country to apply for the young professional work permit (I got a job offer from a Canadian company), from mid of January till March 8th we were separated, then I live with my bf from March 9th till now (October 2019).
Till the end of November 2019, it will be a noncontinuous 1 year of cohabitation. Can I apply for the residence under the common law at the end of the year? I'm wondering if the 48 days break for applying the work permit is tolerated or not.
Also, I plan to visit my family next year for 4 weeks in February, I don't know how all these will impact my application, should I better wait till the end of my work permit to leave Canada? (In case I really have to fulfill 12 months of cohabitation)
Thank you all for your kind help!
