Thank you that helps a lot. We started dating in March of 2007, and living together in November/December of 2007. What sort of proof do they need? I moved in to his place, and then in April I bought a condo and we moved there.

Here is the tricky part, in December we are going to Mexico and he is going to stay down there, obviously because he can't get back into the US.

Can I apply for the permanent resident card after our trip in December, or will that mess up the common law and I need to do it before we go to Mexico in December.

I was thinking that I could apply for permanent resident and he could apply for his work permit.

I keep on thinking I have time to figure it out, but December seems so far away even when I know it isn't.

Can I register a church while I am in Canada on a visitor visa?
Your help in appreciated.

Hi Brown,

You are posting in a rather old thread which belongs to someone else. Next time, you may wish to post your question under your own handle so that it receives more views.

I mention next time 'cause I'm going to answer this question quite correctly so that you will require no further answers:)

So long as your registering with a church does not entail any work related activities (activities that would result in you being paid) than you may register with the church.

If I may ask, what purpose would registering with a church serve if you are here on a temporary resident visa? Could you not just attend service at the church? I ask because there may be things to consider long term, depending on your future plans in Canada.

Hi there. I realised you made this post quite long ago, so I was wondering if you managed to move and what procedures u had to go through to get there. Im currently in Dubai, but of Zimbabwean nationality. Any info would have great help.
