We are applying for PR (provincial nominee) as common-law partners.

On our forms and our notarized Statutory Declaration (IMM 5409), we wrote the date we became a couple.

But IRCC wants the date we started living together, which was about 1.5 years later.

Our address history shows the real move-in date. So the two do not match.

We have lived together for years now, so we easily pass the 12-month rule.

This is only about the date, not about us qualifying.

  1. Did anyone else mix up "became a couple" with "moved in together"?
  2. Is a letter of explanation enough, or did you redo the declaration?
  3. Did it cause any problems with your officer?
