Address proof from Germany?

[Incroyable]

In 2010, I moved to Germany to be with my German partner.

We got married in 2013 and continued to live in Germany.

Now in 2017 we want to live in Canada and I'll be sponsoring him via an inland application (he'll be on an IEC visa).

We've lived together since 2010 with no breaks, and will have the same Canadian address. However should I still include proof of our former addresses in Germany?

Germany requires everyone to register their address, so we have this address proof at our fingertips. However we moved around quite a bit so have many of these address forms, and if we don't need to include it I won't go through the added expense of hiring a translator to translate everything.

Is it enough that we live together in Canada and can prove it?! Or is it better to submit our documented 7 years of living together?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi there,

It would actually be very useful to have those documents because when applying for PR Inland they ask you for proof of your commom.law relationship, so anything that shows that you were together in the same place cohabitating for at least 1 year will be required. Maybe you could just get the latest ones as you have lots more than the minimum required of 1 year.

If you can't provide any of the requested documents from your (at the time of applying) Canadian address, then it would be good to include some of the recent Germany address forms. As these address forms are not official documents, you can just translate them yourselves.

They are married, so they don't need to prove a common-law relationship.
