IMM 5409E Common-Law Union Declaration – Notarized for Immigration Use
If you’re applying for spousal sponsorship or another immigration program that involves your common-law partner, you’ll likely be asked to submit the IMM 5409E form. This declaration confirms your relationship under Canadian law — and it must be notarized to be accepted by IRCC.
At Notarize Vaughan, we specialize in notarizing IMM 5409E forms for clients across Ontario and beyond — all fully compliant with IRCC requirements.
What Is IMM 5409E?
The Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union (Form IMM 5409E) is used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to verify your relationship status. You’ll need this form if you’re:
- Sponsoring a common-law partner for permanent residency
- Applying as a dependent of a common-law partner
- Providing supporting evidence for immigration streams involving family
This form affirms you’ve cohabitated with your partner in a conjugal relationship for at least 12 consecutive months — and a notary public must witness and notarize it.
Why You Need It Notarized
IRCC requires that this form be completed in the presence of a notary public or commissioner of oaths. This ensures:
- Your
identity is verified
- You
understand the legal implications
- The declaration is
legally binding and enforceable
The form will be accepted by
immigration officers and consulates
