Common Law supporting documents

Hello everyone,

Quick question for you. Me and my girlfriend will have been living together for over one year, but our supporting common law documents (power bills, bank accounts, gym and costco memberships etc) don't start at exactly one year. Instead they kind of trickle throughout the year, so it started off with everything in my name, and gradually things got switched over. Everything got changed over by 2 months into our year of living together.

Is this gonna be a problem? I can get things like sworn statements saying that we lived together, we have a rental lease in both names etc.

Hey,
well if you have a lease you are all good =)), all the rest is just a support, send it all in any case, but you should be absolutely fine!

Cheers, Raccoon

This is almost exactly like the situation my sponsor and I were in paperwise, and we were fine. The lease in both your names is golden in any case! Just throw plenty of photos and stuff like that at them too!
