Hello there
I am the applicant from Philippines and my partner sponsor in Alberta. We have submitted our Common-law Application November 20, 2017. Sponsor Approved January 30, 2018. And I already submitted my police certificates and medical done. Application was forwarded to Canadian Embassy Manila February 20, 2018 then March 15, 2018 I received an email Procedural Fairness, giving me 30 days to submit more proofs and explanation letter. I already worked on it, just waiting from my sister's statement letter from Japan to arrived this week before I can send my documents... Most of it are already sent in the application, just sending them again maybe some of it are misplaced.
These were all the documents we have;
- Explanation Letter
- Statutory Declaration Common-law Union Form IMM5409
- Rental Agreement by Landlord and 12 months house rent receipts
- Joint Bank Certificate (it's late when we open an account,
- ID government card showing same address (my postal id and sponsor alien residence card from Philippine Immigration)
- Envelope showing same address ( letter of my friend Belen and sponsor lawyer envelope sent to our home address)
- Internet & Landline bill showing same address (it's in my name)
- Entry & Exit stamp on passport of Sponsor showing the 1 year stay
- Flight Itinerary of Sponsor 1 year
- Skype screenshots (of us talking to his friend Bob while he was with me in the Philippines, because his friend took care of his dog)
- Pictures of 1 year together (48 pieces) (because the 20 photos that I sent before was since the beginning of our relationship to present)
- Last Will Testament of Sponsor naming me as beneficiary
- SSS or Social Security System of mine naming him as my beneficiary
- and 10 statement letters from family and friends (the other 5 are new statement letters).
We lived together for September 1, 2015 to September 17, 2016 at rented house in Manila. Since the officer was requesting for common law proofs, I will submit the documents regarding common law, since I already submitted the other proofs of relationship in the application. My sponsor visited me 4 times, the 3 times were we stayed in the hotel and the 4th visit was we stayed together in the house rent..
Do you think the officer will now be satisfied? Especially the photos of 1 year, since we did a lot in the house like cooking, painting the ceiling, cleaning the ditch, etc...
Thank you for reading my post...
