My and my 'common law partner' have just started reading into all of the application stuff and we are hearing so manydifferent things from people. We cant afford a lawyer so any information that anyone can give will help.
We are here on a 1 year working visa which expires in the end of June My partner is a Carpenter so has a skilled trade and is ticketed. We really want to stay for a few years so from what I can gather we must apply for an extension on our visa and also residency. The extension should cover us while we wait for the residency, correct? I have heard about an LMO also is this the same as and extension on a visa?
Also, I have given the forms a shot and there a few things I am not sure about. On the Statutory declaration of common-law. Which Country and Province should I put in, Canada BC, the one I am currently in? Also where it says our names and lists two countries (of and in) is this the country we are from and the country we are currently in or if we have been living in the same place for almost a year is of and in the same country?
Thank you
