I think you do have quite a bit of evidence, you should be fine, even without a letter from his parents. Another thing that you could do would be to sign the Declaration of Common Law Union form in front of a notary or similar. I know if says only if you have a co-signer, but lots of common law...

I think it's useful! Also, on the spreadsheet, the date that my application arrived is July 26th, not 27th. :)

Ok, first, you need to qualify as common law. People prove this by submitting lease agreements, joint utilities, official id or documents showing both people living at the same address, tenancy agreements, letters or affidavits from landlords, mail addressed to both people at same address, etc...

I'm panicking a little bit because I didn't send my option C with my application. Revenue Canada wasn't done their assessment of me for 2010, and after some asking on here, I discovered that plenty of people don't send it, and just send a note and some pay stubs. I ended up sending some pay...

yep!

Our application was received in Mississauga today!!! Now the nerve-racking wait begins... :/ hmmm Haha. Well, I'm glad to be rid of the pile of paper!

So do you have to include entire pages that are not applicable, or just write n/a on the document checklist?

My partner and I are applying common law. We are including 4 Declaration Letters that are notarized plus about 6 that aren't. We did not even include contact information on the letters, although 2 are from family members whose addresses/phone numbers are included in the app, so they could find...

Yes, i agree, you can include them. I think it's a good idea to get creative with the genuine relationship evidence, and really cover your bases.

I don't know what kind of credit card you have, but is it possible to just transfer 40 dollars to it (so you would have 1040 of credit) and pay that way? I have a card with a 1000 dollar limit too, and that is what I plan to do next week, I've done similar before. :) Hope you can figure it out!

Hi guys, just wanted to give you an update. I am still planning to file in July. We had a bit of a hiccup with the option C, but I think we've got it figured now. I am flying home to Canada tomorrow! EEK, haha. And I will be sending the app off probably the following monday or possibly tuesday...

Hi, I'm the sponsor and I don't have income right now either. I'm a student in Canada, but have been living in Germany with my partner for the last year and not working. We are including a very short letter explaining our financial situation and future plans. I have included a job application I...

I would do this, but as I said above, I have not worked here in Germany. I do not earn much, even in Canada, because I am a student. Do you think I could just include an option C printout from 2009? I could also include a bank statement of mine, and my partner's, also a letter of support from my...

Ok, here is the situation: I have been living in Germany the past year. I haven't worked here. I got my mom to file my 2010 tax return, I did sign and send it back, by that time it was a month late. I guess she talked to someone at Canada Revenue and they advised her to send my income tax to the...

I would try to get an notarized letter or similar from your landlord, and people who knew you two lived together, any delivery receipts or invoices (from amazon or similar) that show your address, any bank statements or documents that show address, any envelopes from friends/family addressed to...

Hi, I was wondering about this question. I am a student too, and have been abroad for the year (not working), however, I also got a small inheritence from my grandmother and some money wired to my account from my parents for Christmas and stuff. Would I include any money that came into my bank...

I've never heard of a Border agent imposing a timeframe like that, does it happen often? I didn't realize they could even do that. How are you supposed to get an entire application ready in a week? That's ludicrous. It's taken us MONTHS to prepare... Good luck to you! And definitely consider...

Also, prescription glasses or contact lenses and a copy of your prescription. At least that is what the DMP here in Germany wants. And the fee in cash. Again, just what our doc wants! Best way to know is to phone the office, confirm appt. and ask what they require! :)

I don't think there are Tchibo stores in Canada. I know when I first came to Germany they totally confused me. Cafe that also sells dress shirts? whaaaaaaat? :P Haha.

Hi JenB, we will be sending our app off soon and I was wondering what courier service you used? Thanks :)
