How to become common law partner as a visitor

[Luna.gigi]

I’m so glad that i found this forum!!
Hi everyone, i’m an indonesian citizen, my boyfriend is canadian citizen and now i’m confusing how to become common law partner while i’m just a visitor which is impossible to do anything or get anything as a visitor.

I’ve been living here for 6 months then i applied for visa extension it got approved but it only gave me 3 months.

How can we become a common law partner while they just gave me 3 months? as a rules it needs 1 years live together. But i’ve been thinking when we did applied we didn’t attached any evidence proving that we’re living together because we don’t know much about this after i found this forums. We might missed these parts!!

Now the letter said i must leave canada on March 8 2019. I landed here by June 4 2018. So my question is ;
1. Can i reapply again with the proper complete evidences that proving we have been living together for 6 months before that end of the date?
2. What kind of evidences i need to attach? I have joint bank account, library card, and some mailing online stores to our address already (try to get things as much as i can)
3. The total in months i have for staying are 9 months. So, do i need to ask for 6 months extends again or only 3 months so we eligible to become common law partner?

Thanks for the help, i really appreciate and i’m apologize if my english not really good.

You can reapply for a visitor visa extension, but if you only got a 3 month extension the last time, it will more than likely be refused. Also, if you now say you were in a relationship from when you came here they will wonder why you never declared that in the first place (although sometimes it is easier not to). If you really are serious, just get married and have him sponsor you for PR. Living together for a year on visitor visa's is very tough to manage.

when we applied for first extension, we did said that we’re in relationship and ask for one year extension to eligible for common law partner, but we just didn’t attached the evidences because we don’t know that it’s required and it’s very important untill i found this forum. do you think is that possible to reapply again show with the evidences? we didn’t attached that before because we don’t know that it’s very important as an evidences. thank you!

we did declared we’re in relationship we just didn’t attached the evidences (joint bank acocunt, mailing letter, ect) because we don’t know about those things as required for extension. we are really serious just we need more time

All you can do is attach them and apply for another extension, then hope for the best. You may get approved, but you may not. Just depends on the officer really

Do we need to say that we forgot or we don’t know to attach them for this new one?

Do we need to write something like “we apologize we don’t attach them because we don’t know about that or bla bla so here we are with the evidences” thanks again for the advices!

You could put an explanation if you want, but as I said, it is really up to the officer that is looking at your application. If he is going to sponsor you as common-law, why not just get married and it means you don't need to worry about the years co-habitation rule.
