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
