Hi!

At the top of IMM5409 (Statutory Declaration of Common Law) it says to read the instruction guide before filling out the form.

However, I could not find this guide anywhere. Can anyone share a link or direct me?

Hello, If I submitted a Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union IMM 5409 four years ago for an extension, could I request to use it for a student visa now?

My Indian friend needed the answers, thank you, guys! I wasn't able to help him find the form. Also, he doesn't speak English very well. I tried translating for him, but English isn't my first language either. I'm originally from Germany, so I don't speak English that well. I had to recommend him translation services that can handle a declaration of this importance. We got help from https://circletranslations.com/content/technical-translation-agency. They also deal with technical translation, so it has been a perfect choice for him. Maybe this helps someone out there who doesn't know English as well!
