Hello,
My husband and I currently live in the USA. I am Canadian and live here on a student visa. My husband and I are applying for him to get permanent residency status as a spouse (he is american). On the document checklist, it states:
Provide at least 2 of the following (check which items you are providing):
Important documents for you and your spouse showing that you are recognized as each other's spouse (such as employment or insurance benefits)
Documentary evidence of financial support between you and your sponsor, and/or shared expenses.
Other proof that your relationship is recognized by your friends and/or family (e.g. Letters from friends/family, social media information showing a public relationship, etc.).
I do not work as I am on a student visa in the states which does not permit me to work. My husband does not receive insurance benefits through his work. We were thinking of taking out a life insurance policy to fulfill the "important documents" requirement. my question is, would it be better for me (the Canadian) to take out the policy, and have him listed as the beneficiary? or vice versa? Should both of us have life insurance policies with the other listed as the beneficiary? Does it matter if we use an american company instead of a canadian one? Thanks!!
