Hi!
I am sponsoring my common law partner ( pgwp), i am permanent resident.

I’m really anxious, and if anyone can give their opinion, it will help.

These are the proofs we have-
- lease from last 2 years
- T4,NOA, from last two years, showing same address and marital status as common law
- my drivers license, and my partners SIN number which says issued in 2023, and displays same address
- support letters from friends
- photos from last 4 years.
- plane tickets for Mexico, punta Cana showing both of our names

There is a problem. I forgot to change address on bank, and now my bank statements from last 2 years show old address. I want to include them because we have a lot of e transfers history on our statements from last 2 years.

We don’t have joint account.
We don’t pay for utilities ( included in rent, mentioned in lease)


Do i have enough proof?
Is my file strong enough?
What should i do about bank statement situation?
Do i need more proofs?

Please give your opinions.
Thank you!

No need to include it then.

It should have been a joint account and with the same address to have any value .

We don’t have joint account.

That's bad, but not catastrophic.

You are good if your lease has both of your names on it.

I would skip:

- support letters from friends
- photos from last 4 years.

Hi! Thanks for ur reply.

Why would you skip support letters from friends and photos?
I thought this will add to the proof that my relationship is genuine.

Also, we had no idea that we should add each other as beneficiaries on our life insurance, we didn’t even opt for life insurance coverage.

What if we do i right now? I mean a few days before applying for pr?

I figured that it takes time, so what if we just upload the ‘change in beneficiaries form’, with each others name on it?
Will it add weight to our application ?

Also, according to your experience, is our file strong?
Give suggestions.

Thanks for your advice i appreciate.
