Agreed. Would prefer to get as much as possible, but difficult when need proof of residency for most things. If we cohabitated in America for awhile, can we submit info from then or just within Canada?

We can also provide joint bank statements. I know I need more than just a lease, my concern about the lease was that because they're also my parents. Thanks!

That's reassuring, we can definitely provide the latter!

Thank you! Would more than two be recommended? Nervous to hand in only minimum requirements.

We do have a joint bank account, but for phone, my carrier said only residents can be account holders, so added him as a line under my account.

Other address documentation is hard for us as he's not a resident, so can't apply for a driver's licence in Alberta sadly. Which is the reason I wanted to include the rental agreement. He's also on my work health insurance plan, and in the process of trying to find auto insurance that will...

Hi, thanks for the info. I should have been more clear. Both our names are on the rental agreement. My spouse does not work. We don't have utility bills as it's included in our rental agreement. I thought maybe it might look bad to have a family member be our landlord for documentation purposes...

Well, I am paying rent to my parents and my partner lives with me. Does my partner need to pay rent themselves? Also, we're not common law, we are married.

Any advice?

Ah okay. I'll call AMA and report back on what happens! Thank you again!

They didn't ask for any proof of residency, either provincial or federal? Thank you for all the info :) this is very helpful!

Hi, I am renting a house from my parents. Can I provide a rental agreement with signature and name of my spouse who I will be inland sponsoring as proof of cohabitation? Wondering if this is okay since landlord will be my parents? Thanks.

Also, what was your status when you purchased insurance with American license? Did you have a work permit, visitor, student?

Thanks! I'll look into them. Was this relatively recent, in the last year or two? The few I've checked so far require AB license. Also, does anyone know where I can get photo ID for him showing shared address? To get an Alberta id card, need proof of residency.

Giving this a bump so hopefully gets a reply.

From which insurance company?

That makes sense, thank you!

Hi, will be submitting an inland spousal sponsorship + OWP application next month. My husband holds American citizenship. Looking through the sponsorship documents and I noticed in several places it says "principal applicant and family members over 18 years of age must complete and submit..."...

Thanks for the reply. Would that provide full coverage though? If he gets into a crash, how exactly would coverage work? Do you know if holding an international driver's permit makes him eligible for insurance?

hi all. How can I get my spouse under my auto insurance coverage while waiting for his PR and work permit? I live in AB. He holds an American license. Thanks.
