Question about maintaining common law status.

[ColorMePanda]

After you reach the full year of living together you are considered common-law.

Well I was wondering, since I will be applying through common-law. How long are you allowed to live apart from each other before being considered not common law any more?

Like since it might take us a few months to get the application together and then about a month to hear news on the approval, then another 3-9 months for final processing.

So like for all these people that are going through the processing via the common-law route, are they allowed to live apart for a year and still be considered common-law?

I just don't want to break any laws about common law relationships and have to recount the year of living together if we don't get approved.

I know it says the common-law relationship is broken if you have lived a year apart from each other and are with another partner. Well does the same apply if you don't have another partner in the process of living a year apart from each other?


Sorry about another thread but I could use this to be answered as well so it is one less thing on my mind. Thanks!

Seeing someone being this demanding discourages people from answering. Please remember that this is a community of unpaid people who are here out of mutual interest, not just somewhere you can come and expect professional advice at the drop of a hat. For that you have to get paid advice from an attorney or immigration consultant.
