Subject: A query for Roy and other experts
  My friend is filling up the forms but he does not know what to put down as his marital status. He´s been living with his girlfriend in a committed conjugal relationship for about 2-3 months. In this case, should he put down his marital status as common-law or single.

My take is that he can only say that he is in a common-law relationship once he has completed one year of co-habitation in a conjugal relationship. However, some other people are saying that he is already in a common-law relationship and he´ll meet the definition of having a common-law partner after one year.

So, do common-law partner and common-law relationship mean the same thing for the purpose of Canadian immigration?
