First of all, thank you for all your responses and your condolences...
Now, in the letter I will quote one paragraph:
"Since you have not provided sufficient evidence that you meet the requirements of Section 4 of the regulations, you do not meet the requirements of the class. Your application for permanent residence as a member of the Spouse or Common-law partner in Canada Class is, therefore, refused"
Did not state what was insufficient. Letter only said that he has to have his plane ticket bought, proof of that blah blah blah.
Yes we did have an interview. Frankly though, my husband and I believed that the IO had made up her mind long before we arrived. In fact, at one point she got screwed up on her computer and lost what questions she was asking me and my husband and I did not end up even being asked the same questions. Her main concern was that we did not have a house or car together. She said a baby don't mean nothing. Well we don't have a car because neither one of us drives and a house because you can't even afford rent on one income let alone a house. We also took more evidence to our interview in which she barely looked at.
As for evidence we provided:
Approx 500 photo's.
Photo's of our wedding where family and friends attended. Photo's of our friends and us going out and drinking or going out for supper or going out to Edmonton to go shopping, any outings of us basically. Photo's of family occasions, thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter etc. Photo's of birthdays, friends and family where we were all there. Family photo's of us and our daughter in the park at different functions. Photo's of our baby shower. Photo's of my husband going hunting with my family to show that he spends time with them without me because he is part of the family. Photo's of us painting our new house. Pretty much any photo's of us at anything over the past couple yrs. I wrote on the back of every picture describing who was in the picture and what was happening in the photo.
I sent cards addressed to both of us from our wedding, baby shower and Christmas. I also sent cards he got for his birthday from my family.
Not much in the way of email/phone calls. We have been together every day since about a month after he came here. And he didn't have a computer at first and is a little bit on the illiterate side when it comes to technology. But we have been living together for over 3 yrs.. I believe it's called talking :S
Joint bank account
He's on my insurance plan at work.
Our daughter!!!!!!
Proof that we have lived together for almost 3 yrs.
Letters from friends/family saying we are the real deal.. I have since accumulated even more of these letters to send in with our next application.
So basically I sent in anything and everything that would show in the slightest way that we are a couple.
Honestly, if that is poorly done... I don't know what else we could've done.
