Okay I can definitely update that and attach that for the next email I send him. Scylla has been really great help and based on everything so far I have submitted I actually don't have anything else to really prove it, I've gone over it a lot too see if I was missing anything but the only thing that is a full 12 months or over is our Drivers License, and joint account. If I were to have my dad re-write a letter and have it notarized, because I feel like the gentlemen who's looking after our file didn't see it and resubmit it would that help? Should I maybe get a immigration lawyer at this point?

Do I have no other options here? Cause if it gets rejected, what are options for her cause she would need another work permit.
It doesn't seem that you quite understand what can be submitted. It doesn't have to be the same proof for 12 months and the proofs can be in your individual names, not just joint. You've lived there for 2 years; you both must have received mail. Show phone bills, individual bank statements, payslips, any letters, delivery confirmations etc.

Okay I see what your saying, We do have our individual mails, delivery confirmations like I guess I could use amazons? or anything I've ordered before? I know her phone bill shows my address I guess we can use those, based on what your saying.

Things we showed for proof of cohabitation were:
Joint lease agreement in both our names
Joint phone/electric/gas bills in both names
Driver's licenses with the same address with the issue date >1 year prior to our application
Random pay slips going back >1 year showing the same address
Receipts from deliveries for us both over the previous year showing the same address
Insurance naming each other as beneficiary taken out over a year prior to our application
Notarised letters from my daughter, one of my friends and one of my partner's friends saying that they know us as a couple in a long term committed, marriage-like relationship

Those are the kind of things they're looking for.

Hello!

First time posting here and just need some advice.

My girlfriend and I have applied for a Sponsorship Common Law and we have been living together for two years now. (Since Feb 2018) The person looking over our application has asked us to provide any document to prove we have been cohabiting, may it be joint accounts, lease agreement etc.

I have submitted a signed letter from my father indicating that we have been living together under his roof since February 2018, along with a letter from my bank that we have a joint account under our name, DL's under our name, and even later on an insurance slip from her that shows our current address. My cousin and our mutual best friend also wrote letters stating they confirm our relationship and that we have been living in the same residence since February 2018

The person who's looking at our claim for the second time has given a response saying he feels that we may not meet the requirements for her immigration to Canada. Essentially he feels like we have not submitted enough evidence that we have been cohabiting.

So at this point I am not sure what we are suppose to do. Even in his email to us he really hasn't mentioned anything about my fathers letter, he has mentioned that the insurance slip date is after when we applied (She didn't have a G2 until later in 2019) also that there are no bank statements from our joint account. Weirdly enough our joint account is under our name, but doesn't show our names when I pull up the account on easyweb.

And at the end of the email he's asking us to "satisfy" him that we are a member of the common law class.

What can I submit to him at this point? This may be our last chance.

This is what I have submitted to them so far:

-Both drivers license with same address
-Life Insurance
-Signed letter from father we live together under his roof no rent
-My Cousin and our mutual best friend letter stating we are cohabiting and to confirm our relationship
-Joint Account Letter from my bank stating we are both on the account and when the account was opened, bank statements were not provided
-Over 20 photos
-Tickets we purchased when we had a vacation
-Her insurance slip that she got way later after the application was submitted

There probably were others and i'll edit it when I do remember.

I was born in Canada so i'm a citizen and she was on a work permit. I was thinking about getting more letters and I don't have any of the retirement plans set up. Were both in our mid 20's. Is there any specific kind of template I can use as a guide line for my friends/family?
What was the result of this?
