Mr. miller - Common-law partners living separately?
My common-law partner (we have met the definition by living together for one
year)
and I are living in Canada right now together. I have a valid open work
permit through
my partner since he has a professional work permit. Neither of us are
Canadians.
(basically CIC recognized our common-law relationship)
Anyways, I am going back to the U.S. for a year and half to finish my
education.
My partner is going to be applying for permanent residence, probably after
I leave for the U.S. I'm wondering if I would qualify as his common-law
partner.
We will be visiting each other every weekend.
Please let me know, Mr. Miller.
If it does work, then also kindly advise what kind of documents I should
save.
Thank you.

Re: Mr. miller - Common-law partners living separately?
the regulations state that once you are recognised as being in a commonlaw
marriage then that marriage stands unless you pretty much officialy
seperate. It's kind of like saying you got married but have to live apart
for a year does that mean people will think you are not married anymore.
It's all in the intent and reasons. If you have a valid reason for living
apart and your seperation is incidental to the cohabiting relationship then
it is ok. If you went off to live apart and barely spoke to each other then
deicded a year later to hook up again then you'd have problems.
