Entering Common-Law relationship while one partner is still going through Divorce?
Post Body

To start off... My husband is a natural born citizen in Canada, I am a US citizen currently on a visitor's visa(extension #3) in Canada. We have lived together since August 2013.

He was legally separated from his ex-wife in 2011 - they DID sign a separation agreement, which we have a copy of. My husband and I began dating March 2013. I moved in with him(in Canada) August 2013, but the divorce was not official until December 2013.

I'm confused as to what to put where it asks on numerous forms "The date in which you entered the common-law relationship". It would be from when we had lived together for a year right? Can you begin the 12 month term needed for common-law while still going through the divorce process? Or would our countdown have started the day that the divorce was finalized?

So, would I put:

A) August 2013 (when we moved in together)

B) August 2014 (we had lived together for a year at this point)

C) December 2014 (at this point we had been living together for a year AFTER the divorce was finalized)

Please help me out, I can't find anything online that would apply to this situation! Thanks in advance.
