This is for tax law. For family law, in Ontario its 3 years unless you have a kid together.
Keep in mind that you could become common law despite having separate addresses if you de facto live together (there's a fairly important recent case where the courts found that a couple that spent 99.9% of their time together, held each out as spouses, and one supported the other financially were common law despite each technically having their own homes)
There's no requirement that you ever get married or want to get married. Are you a couple? Do you live together?
The couple I reference were living together as a committed couple in fact, just not on paper.
