Hi,
Myself and my partner are putting together our application for Common Law sponsorship to Canada. For context She is a Canadian Citizen and I am from the UK.
As we have moved around a lot in the last year we have a few questions regarding whether our evidence is substantial enough in proving we have lived together for at least 12 months. We have been together 4 years and have lived together for 16 months now.
Our situation is this - We lived together in Montreal for a period of 7 months before we moved to Australia in July 2019. Since last July we have moved at least 8 times. We were always living together but some of these instances were very short term, as in temporary solutions in some cases. Whilst we have evidence for most of these places including lease agreements, bank statements, work contracts, tax documents etc, for other places we don't have much. Here is what we have:
Residence 1 - Utility Bills, Gov issued tax documents, Social insurance, Lease agreement, Joint Banks statement, Home insurance
Residence 2 - Bank correspondence, social insurance documents, medical bill
Residence 3 - Lodging Invoice & Refund *(this is a concern as we only have this due to this being a 2 week period)*
Residence 4 - Booking Invoice (temp accommodation so similar to a lease in this case), medical invoice, payslips, pension documentation
Residence 5 - Medical bills, Payslip, Phone bill, Bank document
Residence 6 - Gym membership agreement w/ address, Lease and Bond agreements, booking receipt w/ address. Except from having my name on the lease agreement, my name is only on an event booking receipt which isn't the strongest piece of evidence, is this too weak?
Residence 7 - Employment contract, medical invoice, payslips
Residence 8 - Phone bill, sublet agreement. * This is a concern as we don't have any other physical proof of us living here*
* I should note that this evidence isn't always joint in terms of us having both names on each document, rather some documents are individual but prove that we lived in the same address at the same time.
Our question is that based on the above, in your opinion do you see this as substantial enough? All of this evidence adds up to more than 12 months but we fear that some of the areas may be too weak in terms of providing physical documents.
As always your feedback is appreciated
Thanks
Mark
