Hello all, would appreciate any advice on my situation. I received a letter from CIC requesting :
> Proof of cohabitation: You did not provide sufficient evidence of cohabitation. Please provide additional evidence of cohabitation that could be used to confirm whether a sponsored spouse or partner has been continuously cohabiting with their sponsor in Canada prior to and since the receipt of the application (on 2019/09/12). These may include: Joint bank accounts or credit cards indicating both you and your sponsor's names, Jointly signed ownership of residential property, Jointly signed residential leases, Jointly signed mortgage or purchase agreement, insurance and/or beneficiary forms, Joint utilities accounts (electricity, gas, telephone), Important documents of both parties showing the same address (i.e identification documents, driver’s licenses, and insurance policies). Please do not send any electronic media items, such as CDs, DVDs, or VHS tapes.
I’m applying in-land, in my application I provided proof of a joint account with my husband, shared phone plan, and husband’s tax return indicating we are married. I’m currently staying with my husband in his grandmother’s home and do not pay utilities. I am planning to submit the following :
- joint account bank statement
- shared phone plan
- letter from my husbands grandmother attesting that my husband and I have been living in her home and do not pay utilities
- we recently purchased a home so will provide proof of purchase agreement, deed from notary re: purchase of home
- husband’s tax return indicating we are married
- receipts from Amazon, Uber, etc. indicating shared address
- receipts of gifts my family sent me overseas to our address
Should the above be sufficient evidence of proof of cohabitation? Is there anything I missed that I could add?
