Common-law evidence для иммиграции в Канаду: как доказать 12 месяцев

Common-law status не возникает из совместных фотографий, помолвки, финансовой поддержки или выбранной даты в анкете. IRCC определяет partner как не состоящего с applicant в браке, 18+, который жил с applicant в conjugal relationship не менее 12 последовательных месяцев. В период формирования допускаются только короткие временные отсутствия по work/business travel или family obligations. Evidence должно показать общую household chronology и согласоваться с addresses, travel, work, tax/civil and application answers.

Доказывается не “отношение вообще”, а непрерывная cohabitation chronology

Начните с exact 12-month period, в котором оба фактически cohabited in a conjugal relationship. IRCC says living together continuously for one year without long periods apart; if either left home, absence must be short and temporary for family obligations or work/business travel. Затем наложите evidence categories: joint ownership/lease, shared utility accounts, important identity/insurance documents showing same address, joint financial responsibilities, benefits and other proof. IRCC explicitly says not every listed item is required and other evidence may be considered, so нет формулы “любые два документа”. IMM 5409 is a statutory declaration used when current program/checklist requires it; form/declaration does not replace facts or 12-month coverage. Long separation, relationship breakdown or inconsistent addresses require case-specific review.

Financial/benefits	Common supporting guidance includes joint financial documents and important records that recognize relationship, such as insurance/employment benefits.	Joint account/activity where genuine, shared liabilities/purchases, beneficiary/benefits, insurance, tax or government declarations consistent with actual dates.

Шаг за шагом

Как собрать 12-month evidence matrix

Двигайтесь по порядку и проверяйте определяющую инструкцию на каждом этапе.

1
1. Определите legal question and date
Use exact immigration program/form definition, not CRA or provincial benefit shortcut. Identify claimed common-law start and relevant profile/application dates. Save current IRCC source and personalized checklist. If status changed after profile/ITA, separately assess score, family and update duties.
2
2. Build month-level residence timeline
For each partner record actual physical residence, lease/ownership, utilities, work/study location, trips and any separate accommodation. Mark move-in and absence boundaries from contemporaneous records. Do not use public worksheet. Compare Address and Travel histories before selecting 12-month interval.
3
3. Classify absences
For each time apart record reason, duration, continuing shared home/expenses, communication and return. Short temporary work/business travel or family obligation may fit current description. Long, recurring or indefinite separation needs analysis; never hide trip or extend cohabitation by assertion.
4
4. Fill evidence categories
Map each document to month and proposition. Housing proves residence; utility supports household; bank/benefit shows interdependence; government/ID supports address/status; communications/social records provide context. Use diverse independent issuers and cover early/middle/late period, not one closing-day bundle.
5
5. Reconcile forms and documents
Compare marital/common-law status, start date, spouse accompanying, addresses, travel, taxes, insurance, employer benefits and children across records. Explain genuine lag in issuer updates but do not alter documents. Complete IMM 5409 only when current checklist requires and follow signing instruction.
6
6. Assemble upload and archive
Use concise index, chronological/category sections and readable full pages. Redact only irrelevant sensitive values without hiding names/address/date/issuer needed for claim. Follow file limits and translation requirements. Open final PDF, store source originals and transmitted confirmation.

Вопросы и различия

Частые вопросы

Короткие ответы о деталях, которые чаще всего меняют следующий шаг.

Сколько месяцев нужно жить вместе для common-law?

Current IRCC Help Centre says at least 12 consecutive months of conjugal cohabitation: living together continuously for one year without long periods apart. This is cohabitation duration, not dating. Identify actual move-in/shared-household start and support every month. Different tax definitions must not be substituted automatically.

Можно ли временно жить раздельно?

IRCC describes departures during the year for family obligations or work/business travel only when time apart is short and temporary. It publishes no universal day count on this page. Show continuing shared home, reason, duration and return. Long/open-ended or relationship-breakdown separation requires case-specific analysis.

Какие документы приводит IRCC?

Examples include shared residential property, joint lease/rental agreement, joint gas/electricity/telephone utility accounts and important documents for both partners showing same address, such as driver licences and insurance policies. Common supporting page also lists joint financial and relationship records. Use current checklist.

Нужно собрать все документы из списка?

No. IRCC says you do not need all listed items and it may consider other proof. But this does not mean any two documents suffice. Build cumulative evidence across 12 months and categories. Officer assesses actual cohabitation and relationship, so quality, date coverage, issuer and consistency matter.

Достаточно ли IMM 5409?

No. IMM 5409 is a statutory declaration of common-law union used when required, but declaration does not create 12 months or replace underlying evidence. Use current form and signing/commissioning instructions, then support chronology with residence/household/financial/official records. Some checklists may not request it; follow current route.

Фотографии доказывают common-law?

Photos can provide relationship/social context but generally do not establish continuous shared residence for each month. Pair them with independent housing, utilities, ID/government, financial/benefit and travel records. Do not upload excessive intimate material or assume a ceremony/engagement photo fixes an address gap.

Что если lease только на одного partner?

Do not fabricate joint lease. Use landlord/building letters/occupant records, utilities, official mail/ID, insurance, bank/benefits, delivery or other contemporaneous evidence for same address, plus factual explanation of lease/provider constraint. Strengthen early/middle/late coverage. IRCC can consider other proof but acceptance is not guaranteed.

Как выбрать common-law start date?

Use first day of actual conjugal cohabitation that then continues for 12 consecutive months under current definition; legal status is typically established after completing the required period, while forms may ask dates in specific ways. Do not use first date/engagement. Reconcile exact field wording and get review if status timing affects profile/ITA.

Нужно ли сообщать новый common-law status после подачи?

Family changes must be reported through current IRCC channel. After Express Entry profile/ITA, recalculate CRS/eligibility, accompanying status, funds and documents before submission/update. After PR submission use current web form/account instruction. Explanation does not excuse failure to disclose family member or restore lost points.

Как работать с evidence из разных стран и на разных языках?

Keep one month-level chronology first, then map each foreign or Canadian record to exact proposition regardless of issuer country. Follow current IRCC translation requirements for documents not in English or French, including applicable original/copy, translator and affidavit elements. Preserve full statements and issuer metadata; translate stamps, notes and relevant reverse pages. Different address formats, transliteration and local household practices should be normalized in an index but not altered in source. Explain factual country-specific constraints—such as lease only in one name—with independent alternatives. Do not assume a notarized translation proves cohabitation; it proves content/translation chain, while underlying record still needs date, address, issuer and coverage consistency.

Свяжите relationship evidence с family map

После month coverage проверьте spouse/dependant answers, accompanying status, funds, histories and update duties. Store sensitive evidence only in protected workspace. Сделайте отдельный index early/middle/late records, отметьте issuer and proposition, reconcile each absence with Travel/Address history and preserve proof that household continued. A reviewer should be able to follow the 12-month chain without relying on captions or applicant assertion.
