To All
These are the forms for In – Canada Common Law Spousal Sponsorship http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp but one must have common sense when submitting a Spousal Sponsorship based on a common law union from within Canada.
You need to prove that you’re a couple and one way is to have joined assets as found on the Statutory Declaration of Common Law Union form. Note is not included in your In Canada Application forms.

Do you have both names on your mortgage, lease or purchase agreement when it comes to your residence?
Do you jointly own Property? Don’t tell the Immigration Officer this can’t be done he/she sees it done every single day.
Do you have a long standing joint account in which household bills are paid from?
Does the applicant have any household bills in their name? Hope and pray you have something other then a cell phone bill arriving at your joint residence!
Do you have joint credit cards?
Does the sponsor have a large balance in his/her account and only $200.00 in the joint account in which no bills are paid from?
Does the sponsor have life insurance in which the applicant is the beneficiary that was purchased soon after you two became committed to one another?
Things that will cause problems with any Inland Common Law Sponsorship are as follow;
Timing is very important. When you submitted your application can show signs of a bogus relationship.
Waiting until just before being called to a PRRA to submit looks very much like a desperate attempt to remain in Canada.
Failing to show up for your refugee claim then submitting a year after your claim was deemed abandoned.
Claiming that you do not work without authorization yet your partner is a professional with considerable savings.
Claiming all you do is sit at home waiting for the bread winner to return so that you can feed him/her and perform your sexual magic on him/her is so illogical.
If you work to help support the household instead of watching Oprah and Judge Judy all day long it makes more sense to Immigration Officers assessing your application.
Absolute worse thing is a pre – nuptial agreement showing all property and assets belong solely to the sponsor. That the applicant has no claim to anything.
Defending your actions based on religion, cultural differences will not hold water.
A genuine relationship is based on common sense.

what is interesting about this is most couples I know take years to combine their lives to the extent CIC is looking for. I guess in the case of common law it is the only way for them to weed out who is simply sharing a bed and who is in a ´marriage-like´ relationship.
I laugh a little about the pre-nuptual agreement because that is what any established person in their right mind should be doing with their assets going in to a marriage or CL relationship. I would want to argue with CIC over that one.

If a professional becomes committed to another it is highly unlikely the applicant will be sitting a home baking cookies all day or watching Judge Judy.
In the busy day to day lives of most professionals time is scarce. Even taking the time to pay bills on line takes time. Why would the applicant not have one bill regarding the new residence in his/her name.
Having a pre-nuptial is one thing but submitting it to CIC is a totally another when your tying to prove that your a committed couple.
