My husband (Canadian Citizen) and I (US Citizen) have established common law as of May 2019. We have not begun my Permanent Residency Application just yet so I don't have a SIN or temporary SIN, but I'm here in Canada legally on an extended visitor Visa. In the US I've been told that our common law marriage isn't recognized so I file my state taxes as single and have done so already as I'm required to even abroad. Do I have to file Canadian taxes as well? Does this mean my husband and I file together? Or do we file seperate? Does he claim me as a dependent since he pays for everything for me? I have not worked at all in 2019 as I legally can't work in Canada on my current Visa. Thanks for all the help!
