"spouse" means a person who
(a) is married to another person,
(b) except under Parts 5 and 6, lived with another person in a marriage-like relationship for a period of at least 2 years if the application under this Act is made within one year after they ceased to live together and, for the purposes of this Act, the marriage-like relationship may be between persons of the same gender,

actualy that is for the purpose of suport I believe and/or when it is infered that you are common law, and you don't have to claim common law after two years.. you can apply for comon law status at 1 year I believe in BC and after 6 months if you are in the military as the military uses the federal definitions.
