The additional information/explenation with this form is:
"a common law partner is a person who is living with you in a conjugal relationship and has done so far at least one year prior to the signing of the Undertaking.
A Commissioner for Oaths must certify this document. Provincial laws govern who can act in this position. In general, Members of the Legislative Assemblies (MLAs), judges, justices of the peace and lawyers are authorized to take oaths. Check your phone book for listings."
This one year prior to the signing of the Undertaking is important! Cause it means we need to get it signed before the end of the month!!! (So best asap!!)
So Im gonna fill this in and send it right away on Monday with hurry from the mail!
But I have some questions about the form so I need your help.. cause its very complicated..
The form is set up in a way that they asume were living together at this moment for a year (and for us it has been a while ago when we lived together..)
Statutory declaration of common law union IMM5490þ
The way they discribe common law on this form we do not meet (since we are not living together at the moment and their way of question set up implies we are) but the description of common law on the website we do meet: "You are a common-law partner—either of the opposite sex or same sex—if: you have been living together in a conjugal relationship for at least one year in a continuous 12-month period that was not interrupted. (You are allowed short absences for business travel or family reasons, however.)" (end of August 2008 till end of August 2009)
We just dont have proof for the questions 1a (we have lived together renting rooms, but do not have the rental receipts/agreements)/1b (we have property together like pots and pans and such.. does that count?). 1c and 1d we have to answer no. Question 2a and 2b we also have to answer no.
**Can we answer yes to 1a: we have jointly signed a resicential lease relating to a residence in which we both live (cause atm we are not living together..) and 1b: jointly own property other than our recidence (does property like plates and pots and pans count?)?
**Is any one familiar with this? Is it easy? Can I just send it to my Canadian boyfriend (sponsor) and he goes and quickly lets it get signed by a Commissioner for Oaths?
Thank you so much!

(in reply to: Statutory declaration of common law union IMM5490þ)
trying to understand your timelines
you did not live together Aug 2008 - Aug 2009?
Have you lived together since Aug 2009?
If you have not lived common law since Aug 2008, you don´t have a hope, regardless of how many pots and pans you own together.
What is preventing you from living together or getting married? CIC will want to understand that. What is the proof that this relationship is active and enduring?
