Hello all,
My wife (American) and I were married on January 1, 2018. She came up to Canada 5 days after that and we’ve been living together since. We filed our inland application and it was accepted in March 2018, and she received her OWP in August 2018.
Things have been running smoothly overall, or so I thought. We got a PFL at the end of January stating that they are not satisfied that we’ve been living together in Canada since the filing of our application. Aside from a few (short) visits together to the States to see both of our families, we’ve been here consistently.
Since receiving the PFL, we’ve sent: our daughter’s birth certificate with both of our names (born April 2018), updated photos including our daughter at various growing stages, our lease extension, a signed letter from our landlord confirming cohabitation (they live above us), copies of my emails to the landlord prior to my wife moving in to gain approval, new car insurance listing my wife as the primary driver of one of our vehicles (insurance is in my name, as are both vehicles), a copy of her Ontario license with our address, her work info screenshots (pay stubs don’t list our address but her employee login does), and a couple bank statements showing her work deposits and that she’s used her card around our city.
Is there anything else I should be adding? I have until the end of February. Most of the results I’ve seen from PFLs are disheartening, and also seem to be mostly focused on partners that submit as conjugal or cohabitating. I’m getting really worried about them splitting our family apart. Help!
