See utilities come in my name so could not use utilities.

I do not share a Doctor but when we go to his Doctor we go together so I asked the Doctor write a letter and he did. He comes with me to my Doctor but I did not bother to ask her. If necessary, I will.

IMHO, in the eyes of CIC, with a married couple I think the burden of proof is less that of a common-law couple. We have the marriage certificate.
Agreed. But then there is questions about who attended, why, etc.

how do you exactly prove this: proof of shared management of household expenses,
evidence of shared purchases (especially of household items) ??? we do a lot of shopping lol I can also have his parents give me rental receipts even tho we don't technically pay rent. We give about $200-$300 from his paycheques to his parents for living here to help with utilities/groceries. It's definitely not enough to be considered rent,is it?

Room and Board? Sure. Include that in what we talked about, also describe what that money is for (Room and Board, incl utilities, sans cell phone; as an example?). Also, if you have a joint bank account, show a few months of transactions (if possible). That solves that one.

And they want more? Wow!

What about letter from landlord, if you rent, indicating how long living together.

Do you have contents insurance for residence?

I agree with CICWhisperer!!!!'

We also provided statements from our joint bank account. I chose randomly.

Why not both! I would say, that would really prove a point, that you've maintained shared resources since 2015, right?
