My husband is just a visitor and I was able to get him put on my cibc bank account with no issues. He is American as well. Have you tried going on your SO bank account?
What can I do?
- Thread starter Elanigana
- Start date
Random things we included as we also have no utilities (all inclusive rent) so i went a little extra on the same address thing.
- Costco membership (yep really!) as both people must live at the same address to have a joint costco account.
- Joint gym membership. You have to be a couple at the same address to have a joint membership (at our gym anyway)
- Christmas cards and the envelopes showing our names and address or wedding invites and the envelopes...i was saving these for a few years knowing we may need them

Another thing you can include is email between you and the utility companies adding your name to the account. It was the same thing we my husband and I. My utilities accounts were already set up and we were unable to add 2 names to the account owner, however, I sent an email to my hydro company and asked to add his name onto the account, then sent that correspondence with the application. We also sent our cellphone bills too. We have a family account under my name as principal owner, however when we added my husbands number, his name appears on the Rogers bill below where they show record of calls, etc. next to his number.

You CAN get married now and supply that information to CIC. You will NOT have to file a new application. They will take your marriage into account and continue to process your application. Common Law and Legally Married are NOT different streams. Spousal applications are spousal application whether legal marriage spouse or common law spouse.
Just food for thought. Do NOT continue to send them the same evidence, they want to see something different. Are you telling me in all the time you've lived with your husband you've not received a single piece of mail with your name on it? What does the hospital where you had your children have on file for an address? Do you go to the library or have a library card? Do you do any volunteer work, maybe go to church weekly? Do you drive? Think outside of the box a little bit. It doesn't have to be bills or utilities ....
Good luck.

Hey! Thanks for your reply!
I sent them all of the mail. We are sending them a letter explaining every thing I've ALREADY sent them, and the new stuff I am sending them now.
Are you saying that if we get married, they'll consider that in THIS application? Because honestly, if it'll help, we'll do it. It's not something we don't plan on doing anyways.. we just had alot of family personal stuff going on ( My fathers death, moving to a new country ) and we didn't want it to be a red flag..
I have been going to a gym here, i'll see if I can get them to write something up!
Yes, if you get married now they will consider it with THIS application. You will however have to wait however long it takes to receive your marriage certificate to send it in to them.Hey! Thanks for your reply!
