Yes, the CIHCP recognizes common-law marriage, which is defined as a relationship in which the parties are 18 years or older, are free to marry, live together (no time requirement), and hold out to the public that they are husband and wife (includes receiving mail, filing taxes, or introductions as husband & wife).
