A female Canada age 36-40, *utterfly22 writes:

I am curious to find out the legal definition of common law in all of Canada by breaking it down by province. Someone is convinced that common law status in Alberta is three months, but that is incorrect. Also there is this girl on facebook that met a guy, moved in with him, got engaged and is now planning a wedding and she has not even known him for three months or so? do you think the fairy tale will last? first loves usually don't work out for most people but not all. She is even using his last name now and it's not even legalized yet. tell me what you think because i want to prove my point.

i have looked it up and some provinces are different from others. Ontario is 3 years in the same dwelling, some provinces are 2 years, federal looks at it as 1 year in the same dwelling. I can also find out from one of my prof's too.

ArmyMedic agony auntThis seems to be a bit of a silly question, and you just want the answer to prove a point, I suggest going into any good book shop finding some books on Canadian marital law and researching the topic yourself!

I really think that you are actually wasting band width that people with genuine problems could be using.
