Hi,
I and my common-law partner (Canadian citizen) are getting married before applying for the PR after 10+ years relationship. During all those years we've been living and renting an apartment together outside of Canada. Since our marriage will be short before applying our immigration documents we would need to provide our Joint rental agreement. And we've lived in at least six different places (moving each/every 1-3 year(s)). We would appreciate if anyone can help us with the same experience or have any knowledge about it.
1) if we provide English versions of all of our rental agreements with their stamps (in foreign language) from real estate company(s) who provided us this service will this be enough?
2) Or do we need to take this stamp to a notary office to certify just a stamp?
3) Or does it need to be newly translated and certified/notarized by a notary office? (This way it may cost me thousands of $$$, cuz we have plenty rental agreements, which has contents all kind of misc. rules in it).
4) The joint bank account was opened in 2012, but after a few years we stopped using it, cuz now there're other more convenient ways to transfer/payment ways. So for the past a few years we have probably 5 transactions. It still has money, but will it still apply as we have a joint account?
I understand that the process is very important, but I won't be able to work and my partner still need to find a job after moving back to Canada. So saving some money and staying on a budget will be good for us.
Thanks
