Landing interview - proof of cohabitation?

[JamesBarnes]

Hi everyone!

We’re an Inland Spousal app, recently received SA and DM letters. Today I got the email for an interview at the Ottawa office.

I’m concerned about a part of the interview email which says that as well as the sponsor being present (which we knew he had to be) they also want us to provide evidence of cohabitation. What’s concerning is that some other folk in our August group haven’t been asked for this.

At the time of applying we submitted a letter from our landlord that I am living in my husband’s apartment and listed as an occupant. At no point during the application process were we asked for further information other than this interview letter.

Am I just stressing over nothing here? I am now a leaseholder on the apartment (with hubby), we have a joint bank account (we submitted proof of that in the app) and, obviously, I get all my mail to our address.

Just carry anything that shows you live together, the lease letter would be perfect, along with any other proof such as bills, government documents etc. It should be fine

I wouldn't panic too much, though of course that's stressful! If they were overly concerned you would have gotten a request earlier. Since this is the Landing Interview, they're probably just dotting their i's and crossing their t's. I would bring anything you have handy showing you share an address; mail, IDs, lease agreement, joint bank statement; just in case. Better to be overprepared than under, but since your app was already more or less approved, you should feel pretty confident!
