Would correspondence addressed to both of us at the same address and other supporting evidence showing a relationship is genuine be enough evidence for CIC to recognise a common-law relationship?

Would a year living with a partner but in her parents house count?

We don't have any joint bank accounts but lots of photos, phone bills, e-mails, testimonials from family etc....

We provided joint bank account statements, Bills, mortgage details etc and they seemed more than happy with that. Saying that, we had lived together for over 12 years anyway!

Funnliy enough we got married in July this year and have had to provide our marriage certificate as proof. Additionally Anna had to send away for a new passport which surprisingly was returned within 4 days.

Good luck.

I'm pretty sure that correspondence to both names is NOT adequate proof of anything more than you were roommates, which is not the same as a conjugal relationship.

Geo4 the questions that you have been posting recently indicates to me that you are unsure of which direction to take to be with your partner. I understand why you are trying to find the best, and quickest, route to take. However, I don't think that anybody on this forum will be able to give you any worthwhile advice on this question (but I may be proven wrong!) I think that to get good advice you need to get in touch with somebody who who knows the ins and outs of the Canadian immigration system. So what I suggest is that you contact an immigration consultant for an assessment of your situation. There are plenty that will do this for free so you have nothing to lose.

I don't mean to discourage you from posting questions on this forum. This is just my personal opinion.
