Hello everyone,
I'm from Malaysia and my partner is Canadian citizen. We plan to apply Common Law Partnership on June after gathering all the document and the problem is me and my boyfriend not staying together for 12 consecutive month.
Our relationship begin on 9th May 2016 and my bf move to my place in the middle of May 2016 until Sept 2016 but my landlord didn't know my bf is living with me so we don't have any proof of living together other than pictures during this few months. And then we move to a new place (with lease) on Oct 2016 until May 2017 but I went back to Malaysia for visiting my family around 11 days on April 2017. Then, we move to a new place again (with lease) on May 2017 until March 2018 and I left canada on 27th March because my study permit expired on 28th .
As I know, we have to live together for 12 consecutive months to achieve common law requirement but we're 11 days short of the 12 months living together. Is it still possible to apply for the common law application? Will this be a issue ?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
