Is it alright to put down on the application the date in which we started to live together as the date we entered into a common law relationship?
We didn't have joint accounts etc. for quite sometime because we weren't aware of all that at time we just mostly cared about finally being able to be with one another.
I just now received my secondary credit card last week.
Even if we don't have a lot of financial proof of the past year of living together, can we still be considered common law?
We have many people willing to write statements attesting to the fact that we have lived together for a year and they believe us to be a true couple. And by the time we plan to travel to visit my family I will have been living here in his home for 1 year not including the time before at my home and the time we will spend together at my home before returning to Canada again.
But do you have to have the "conjugal" aspects of the relationship be a year long?
I mean we obviously have other proof but I am afraid they won't believe us because we haven't had financial things for a year.
Like we have mail addressed to me and him at his address. Not over a year period since I have only been here since March but we do have that. We will have the tax form once he files next years tax return and he will apply as common law. And tomorrow we are signing the statutory declaration of common law union. Also, we have several pics from different occasions and doctors to attest the fact that I have been there for my partner for every visit or hospitalization pertaining to his cystic fibrosis. And we have cards, receipts, proof of gifts, and notes to each other. Along with email and telephone records leading up to us living together. I even have my town police officer and mayor to attest to our relationship as true and willing to write a letter.
Also, we knew each other for 6 months online before he decided to come down and live with me at which time after 4 months I decided I wanted to come live up here with him and his family and have done so for almost 9 months now and more than likely will be a one year time here when I fly back home.
So are we considered admissible under the common law category?
Like what if at the time we started to live together we hadn't heard of common law so didn't know to consider ourselves as that but obviously now we do. We have been there through everything and even at a time when my partner could have died. I literally lived in the hospital with him and slept in the tiny bed with him and helped bring him things and clean him. I help fix his medicine and everything. I would like to think that brings some kind of commitment even if we don't have much financial wise. Maybe I am mistaken.
I have already read the OP2 manual but I am afraid I reading too much into it, if you know what I mean. Lol.
