Judicial review dismissed as Officer reasonably found applicant was undeclared common-law partner based on own timeline.
The applicant was excluded from the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada class because his sponsor did not declare him as a common-law partner in her permanent residence application.
The applicant argued the Officer erred in concluding a common-law relationship existed based on his relationship timeline.
The Court held the Officer's decision was reasonable given the applicant's detailed description of cohabitation and financial interdependence since 2020.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
