Sorry repost as I was told I posted in the wrong area.
Ok so after much needed and great advice from people on this forum my partner and I have decided we will go ahead with an offshore spouse PR sponsorship. I am Australian and my fiancee is Canadian.
We met in Australia June 2014
Started living together properly in Australia October 2014
We got engaged in January 2015
We moved to Canada in May 2015
We have lived here till present August 2016
Here's the thing, when we moved in together in Australia my name was on the lease and she did not have much time left in Australia so we did not add her to the documentation. When her working holiday was over I left with her and we then traveled around the world together for the next 4 months. When we arrived in Canada we lived with her parents for the next 8 months again with no lease as it was her family house.
We left again in Jan 2016 traveling and arrived home to Canada again in April and lived with her parents for a couple of months before moving downtown in Toronto into a sublet where we are currently, so again no lease! Unfortunately it was all we could find at the time that suited us.
We set up a joint bank account in September 2015 (so one year now), which is where every cent we make goes into and we function fully out of that one account, completely shared money.
Other than that the strongest proof I can find is a lot (like 15) flights we have taken together, I have all the email printouts showing both our names together and seats next to each other. I also have the hard copies kept away in a box. On top of that I have room bookings and a few bus trips. I know this doesnt show proof of living together, but surely as we were not at a permanent address and were traveling this is the best proof to show we were never separated and always together.
We also have literally 1000's of photos of us traveling through several countries including big long treks with only us two up in nepal.
Oh and we have matching visas for a couple countries.
I can get a written statement from my partners parents stating the time we lived in there house and validating our relationship as well as the guy we sublet off now.
We also worked at the same job before my work permit expired, so I can get my old boss to also write a letter stating that she knows us to be in a committed relationship.
Do you think this is enough to qualify us as a genuine relationship? Is there anything else anyone can think of that would be good to add that I may have forgotten?
Thanks everyone! ;D
