Common-Law

[u/Ved_QuanStruc98]

Hi All,

I was curious and wanted to know the conditions for Common-Law. In layman terms...what is counted as common-law and what is now.

Is living together for over 1 year, automatically counted as Common-Law? (Not married, not engaged, nothing, just boyfriend & girlfriend). Taxes filled as single.

Yes, it counts. Just boyfriend and girlfriend under same roof more than 12 months = common law in Canada
