They are requesting for proof that you guys are living together. I dont think you pay stub and drivers licence will solve the problem. Send them driver licence of ur husband too, make sure both of them have the same address. Also you should send car insurance papers to them which have ur names on it, and same address. If u guys are living at a rental property, send them the lease agreement, its a legal document. Pay stub is not gonna prove it in any way.

You don't have to worry about getting rejected just yet. They have just asked you for additional documents and you have a chance to satisfy the concerns they have.
You need to read the letter and see what time frame are they asking more proof for. Is it more cohabitation proof for 12 months before you sent the application (Sep 2018 to Sep 2019)? or are they asking evidence of cohabitation now? Pick your evidence based on that and send them as much proof as you can.
Don't worry, many applicants receive additional documents request and they are approved. Good luck.
Hi,
Beside joint bank account, telephone bills, (both mine and his) stating the same address and names, letter from service Canada (stating my name and address) and bunch of other document, I also included both our driver license, and my pay stub (which has my name on it and address). We do not rent, we live at his brother place.

I am assuming yours is a common-law application. So my question was did they ask for more evidence for the common law period (i.e. 12 month prior to application submission) OR did they ask you to provide evidence that you are cohabiting at present?
If it is the 12 month period, you will need to cover each month. A few letters or a few bills for a couple of months will not help. You will need to find and provide evidence that you both stayed at the same address in every month and cover the entire period.
Anything can be used as evidence. if u have any photographs that shows that u are in ur house casually dressed, people do click pictures at home. Any conversation thru text that proves that u r living together. I wanna tell u about my case, we included the whatsapp messages like asking each other if we need any grocery when one of us was outside, all these things play good part in proving that you r living together. U should check ur texts with each other, u will surely find something like that. But the legal papers like insurance, bank details and licence etc should also be provided.
you should focus more on the proofs that are created unintentionally.
the proofs such as drivers licence, bank account, pay stubs etc are created intentionally, and believe me its easy to lie in these. Thats why i am saying show them some proofs that are created unintentionally, they will trust the unintentional ones more. Text messages are the best in this. And the text messages surely have clear evidence that u live together.
Great thank you, I already sent all the information that I had (joint bank account, joint bills, marriage certificate, pay stub, driver licences, some of the wedding pictures and some more letters stating our names and address.
Now that you have made some good suggestions what else to send, so my question is can I send some more evidence?

If you don't already have one, can your brother-in-law type up a lease agreement for you that states both of your names, the start date or duration of the rental agreement, rent due (if any), etc? Be sure he includes is his contact information that IRCC could use to verify your living situation, if needed. Have all parties sign as you would any other lease. Upload a photocopy via GCKey.
I was going to suggest this!! Our landlord wrote a letter saying although it was just my husbands name on the lease, we both lived there. He included the dates each of us moved in and that we are still tenants.
IRCC might be looking for proof that you STILL live together which means you need documentation with the Current date. Your other documents will show from last year not now.
