Hi, we have a 2 year contract for the house we rent but it is not notarized. It is just signed by the landlord and us. Is that ok or does it need to be notarized? We do have rent receipts too and mail showing both of our names to this address.

But on the spousal/common-law application, they ask for you to enter the full address of the relative you have in Canada. I don't know her address.

I think i didn't make myself clear.. i am living with my canadian boyfriend and we plan to apply for common law sponsorship later. On the application, they ask if you have relative in Canada.

Is it a positive or negative to have a relative in Canada when applying for sponsorship (Philippines outland to Canada) Problem is I have a first cousin who lives and works in Canada but I am not close to her.. not even close enough to feel comfortable to ask for her address. I only saw her...

We love to cook and bake at home and try new recipes etc. Would such pictures showing us cooking, baking, eating be good to include? Also, what about photos that show us being silly or crazy like fun?. Do such photos help much in showing we are genuine? Of course, we also have lots of love...

We have a 2 year contract and receipts to show we live here but for the water and current bill, we pay it on behalf of the real owner of the house. The bills are given to us and we pay them but the names are the owners name, not our name. My worry is if if we show them even with an explanation...

Yes is true. most of the letters are from Canada side saying they believe our relationship is genuine and that we love each other etc.. I thought sounded so good and they are real now feeling more negative.

have at least 2 that I would say are quality ones.. one from a long time federal government worker and another from a former mayor. Both are from my partners side in Canada. Someone said letters from the westerners side mean more than letters from my side in the philippines.

Is it true that the processing time is considered in determining the length of your relationship? ie is the processing time added? also can someone apply for spousal sponsorship before getting married, ie if the marriage is 3 months away, can they apply in advance and then after married send...

As I said, we have lots of receipts and delivery lablels from things we bought for the apartment. these show both our names and address too. also we can get letter from landlord if necessary... would that have to be notarized? what else can we possibly show that we been here more than one...

They can be written letters. Here is a past post bout this with examples http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/relationship-support-letters-examples-t47010.0.html

We have joint receipts for things bought for the apt. like fridge and other appliances and household items. The receipts are addressed to us because for many we use online shopping so we have the delivery receipt. would it be good for example to show picture of fridge together with the receipt...

thank you.. i guess every bit helps.. one more thing, to show joint bank account, is it necessary to actually show the funds and transactions inside or can we just submit, for example, a statement from bank stating we have joint account there?
