common-law proof

[bose]

I posted about a week ago saying that immigration wanted more proof of our common-law relationship. Anyway we have obtained more information and I would like to know if you think it will be enough so here goes.

Passport stamps that show our travels together

Letters from both our families and friends who know of our relationship.
Also from my common-law partners former employer.

Bank statements that show flights paid for, storage unit i paid for my fiance furniture while she was with me in Europe 2003, and various transactions in Canada
.
Itemized phone bills from Mar, apr, may, june and july 2003 showing how we would talk everyday while I was working in Germany/austria.

Loads of photos from our times in Europe and Canada since 2002, some dated

Tennancy agreement, cable bill and insurance policies but they only go back to Feb 04 and immigraton are asking for info from Nov 03 and before.

Engagement cards and ring insurance but thats only from Dec 04

A letter from us explaining out situation.

We can't think of anything else, hope this is enough, Thanks

This sounds great I have just filed our case and had that in my file when i sent it. What you have to send is good, also its good to write a kind of story of how you and your spouse met, how the relationship progressed etc etc. But what you have collected is good, you can also complete a 'IMM 5409' Prooof of commone law relationship which can be found at this link

This is signed by a notary and declares that you are in a common law relationship.

With mine i had a letter from our landlord stating we were living together, joint lease, joint bank acoount details. story of relationship, over 20 pics, reference letters from freinds, travel docs. the more the better.

Can i ask why you didnt send this initally and where are you filing? If your spouse has lived in Canada for more than 6 months and has not started application for her RCMP fingerprint check you might also want to note that RCMP are currently taking 6 months to process. so get the application in now for when they request.
