It took 2 weeks for me but that was in the Netherlands. Maybe you can call Justis and tell them you need it asap for immigration purposes. If that doesnt work just contact IRCC and tell them you applied but couldn't get it in time. I read that it's never really a problem. No worries.

okay perfect.. do they send the certificate on your address or the email? i applied via email and sent the payment online via wire transfer.. thanks for your time..

Hi there, ive got a question

my husband and I applied for spousal sponsorship in 18 Jan 2019, we received a letter in may for more proof of cohabitation in which we provided
1.online joint bank activity (transactions) of me n my husband account, which we printed at home as we were on no statment (paperless) settings for 6 months out of 8 of joint banking, (we now have 3 paper statement which we can add to send more)

2. We sent letter from our mother in law telling how we live as joint family with her both sons and daughter in laws, and a letter from husbands brother and wife living with us.

3. We gave letter from one of our neighbors and a letter from husbands boss from work telling how he talks about me all the time.

4. We sent gym membership, wonderland season pass, Travel insurance on my name which I got after request of cohabitation ( as my husband dont have work insurance )

5.letter from my parents and aunt vouching the relationship.

6. My monthly charity donation online receipt saying my name and home address and few online purchases on my name.

7. Few chat with my husband in office and pictures of our trip to montreal along with husbands brother and his wife.

We explained in a explanation letter how we dont pay bills as joint family.

I do not have ontario Id, we applied for work permit in april 2019 which we didnt receive yet. I've applied for visitor extension in june and am on implied status for now, I'm scared what will happen if the app gets rejected, and if I dont get extension.

We recently opened our credit card accounts as my husband just have wallmart master card, added myself to family account of my mother and husband and his brother as well,

We have no credit card statements yet, but im now a supplemtary on husbands credit card.

We also asked our bell mobility to add my name on the bill along with primary payer of bill which they will send online.
As previously all bill came on 1 name of my brother in law who paid the internet bill for us all.

I really need help,What else can we do they gave us a letter again giving us 30 days to give more proof as the previous wasnt satisfactory. Weve SA and RPRF few days ago but rather than AIP I received that officer wasnt satisfied wd cohabitaion proof that I may not be eligible for immigration under spouse class. Weve been living together since August 2018 and had big reception and events as our Pakistani culture,

Please help us.
Can anyone suggest what to do now, should I send credit card 1month stat with me supplementary and 1 month internet bill with my name added along primary, or is reapplying better and an option on implied status

Home Country. Since my spouse is from Japan; it wasn't a pre-requisite to include the certificate when first sending in the application. That said; we got it anyways so that if the request came (and it did); we could send it in same day. Otherwise the certificates can sometimes take as long as 3 months or more depending on country of origin to arrive.

Is the 1 year prior proof of cohabitation required for married couple too?,
We live as a joint family with husbands parents and brother. All Bill's are paid under parents name and so is house lease. We did explain this in explanation letter. I have no statement paperless setting till may, so only statment we have is may to june, and soon next will come for june to july, but not from the time we applied so it's not a good proof, we did send bank activity for each month but they were online and I printed so probably they are useless. Our lawyer didnt tell us anything about keeping bill or statements, as a visitor I've no Id or govt document on my name, as owp didnt come till now.
Let's see if adding my name on bell bill along with primary and giving stat of June july might help, probably we just ruined the application..
Is it better to take application back and reapply if I have only these proof or should I send these and wait?


Can we reapply on implied status?

Is the 1 year prior proof of cohabitation required for married couple too? - Requirements are something you should have checked before applying. Just type in google cic requirements for PR and i can assure you the answer is there. I got my PR through common law so im not sure about the marriage. The reason i replied to your post was because along the process we were asked for the proof of cohabitation as well and I did tons of research on cic website at the time.
Whatever you printed off internet (statements), they are good as long as they have the address (for proving cohabitation). Just remember that claiming that you have been living together from a certain date does not have value in the eyes of immigration if you don't have any proof of what you claim.
Regarding to bank statements - my partner and i both use Tangerine bank which is completely paperless but we were still able to print off statements (With our Address) starting from when the accounts were created - so check with your bank. Im sure they are creating statements for you even if you've requested everything to be paperless.
Regards to what to send them as proof - try to look for anything that you have received through mail to your common address in August 2018 when you claim to have started cohabiting.
 
I just checked my ECAS and I was surprised to see Decision Made on both sides. I got Decision made under Sponsor during the first week of July but not under PR, until I have completed last further medical last week. Now I got Dm both sides.

I got confused coz the GC key still states my eligibility still under review even background check does not change, still under review

What does this mean?

It probably means they are just busy....I got my PR approved and card few weeks ago and it still shows under review for me..I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

They sent it to my address in the Netherlands. I'm not sure how they do it when you live outside NL but I assume they will send it to your address in Canada.
