I am wondering about providing proof of cohabitation as that is what a lot of late 2013 applications seemed to have been asked for..... I am a March 2014 applicant with a 2 year OWP from the Pilot Project, Medicals and police checks sent with application.

Is this the case for everyone would you think? I can understand why they ask for it as its been such a long time from when you first submit the application to when they start processing it, its over a year and half now!

I am worried as I wont really be able to provide much proof at all since last march 2014, we still have our joint bank accounts, filed taxes together last year and this year and some pictures but nothing else really....

Apart from that our PR application file is perfect, no crime issues, no kids, enough evidence in the application itself but I am worried about the extra stuff they might ask for as I wont be able to show them..

My Question is do they really ask for proof of co-habitation for everyone or is it just applications which they feel need more proof or applications which they think are not legitimate

I've already replied to your same question that you posted in the Inland 2014 thread, but...:)

Unless you have old mail (including the envelopes showing the postmark) that have been addressed to each/both of you, over the span of the last year or so...you might be sunk.

Pictures and a joint bank account will be worthless, since the bank doesn't know that you're not living there...I mean ARE living there.

Do you have a joint lease? If you are renting but don't have a joint lease, could the landlord write a letter stating you are living together? What about other mail or any documents from your workplace? These should also list the joint address.

What about visa / bank statements mailed to you and your partner?

This is what I used before my spouse had her driver's license to prove residency for OHIP.

We might have some banking information from our joint account but that's about it..

We have been staying in my girlfriends sisters house this whole time.

In that case you should have your girlfriend's sister sign an affidavit that you have been living together under her roof this whole time.
