To make an even stronger support of the letters/statutory of declarations, if available, provide CIC photos of the sponsor and applicant with these individivuals providing the letters/statutory of declarations. That's what I did with mine and it was all good.

Yep, that is correct. When the person signs it at the bottom, they are making it legally binding that what is written in there is true. Even if someone else wrote the words, the person who signs the bottom is basically saying, "Yes, this is my story as I know it and it is true and I will sign my name to prove this is not false because by signing my name, I know that I would be in trouble with the law if it was false."

Funny enough I wrote my bf's sisters letter, my best friends, my moms AND most of my boyfriends. I am just far better then words with them, and as long as the person attests to the statement, its all good! |

I did contact an notary public and they said the person signing doesnt have to be the person that wrote it, as long as its a true statement and they believe it to be true! But wasnt sure how true this is!

It might only be obvious to you as you know his style so well.
But I honestly don't see it being an issue. She signed it as proof that she believes it |

We had 2 signed by Notary public; one Tims sister wrote as we see her often and one that Tims parents jointly attested too as we have lived in their house together for the majority of the past 4 1/2 years! So I felt these two declarations would hold the most weight! My dad also wrote on and his Common-law partner, my sister wrote one, Tims Cousin and Aunt also wrote one...I also have one from my ex-finance confirming when we split up etc...
When I recieved the ones from my dad and his common law partner/Girlfriend it was obvious to me that my dad had written them both but they each signed their own letter...Will this be a problem? I know from looking around for a notary public that you can pay to have declarations drawn up for you! |

I think its in the checklist somewhere needing the two stat dec. It's the author that needs to sign the document in front of the notarizer to confirm it's them signing the document.

audball said it best.
Reason for the notarized signature is that the notary who puts his/her signature on it is attesting to the fact that he/she confirmed that the author is who they say they are and that he/she witnessed the author affixing their signature to the document. Same thing goes for your own Statuory Declaration of Common-Law Union. |

the author has to because they're the ones signing the declaration. you cannot sign and have notarized something which is written by someone else

Thanks for all of your responses. Saya just a quick question for you; I didn't realize that for Common-Law you have to have 2 of the letters notarized. Did you get the letters notarized yourself or did the author of the letters do this? Thanks again! :)
