Yes, several sources that prove you were living together are what you need. You can also use mail that was addressed to one or both of you at your common addresses.

The time i spent living with my gf can only be substantiated by letters from the spanish school that i attended, our landlord, my gf's boss and our parents. Would this be enough?
Do you have stamps in your passport proving travel together? Or, e-tickets with both your names on it? Or just get someone to give an affidavit - someone who knew you were living together.

The op2 manual is a great resource, I would definitely recommend it for people applying common-law.

I am 100% sure that you don't have to spend the full year in Canada because my partner and I spent about 10 months together in Canada and then a year in Germany and our application was approved. :)

If you have any more common-law questions feel free to ask!
Hi Sidcrose,

Can I email you privately, as I will be sponsored by my Canadian boyfriend this summer and it would be great to have some advice.
