Hi,
Basically, we entered into our relationship 4 going on 5 years ago. On the Principal Applicant's taxes, he reported as being in a common-law relationship about two years ago because to us, common-law was just one year together total, non-consecutively. We've fairly recently learned that that isn't the case across... well most official senses. By the time we send in the sponsorship application we will have been together 1 year consecutively, but will the fact that he reported otherwise cause any issues? Should he change it now? Will that look like we broke up? Any other relevant information that might be applicable?
