What supporting documents can I provide to meet residency obligations?

[jmark2]

Hello everyone,

The PR renewal application is for my grand parents. They have been living with me since I have sponsored them ( there is no rental agreement etc.) . They are quite elderly and don’t work. I want to make sure I provide the right supporting documents to confirm they meet the residency obligations.

I know I can provide their CRA Notice of Assessment (NOA), but I’m unsure what the second type of document should be.

Their bank activity is also very limited.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? What documents did you provide?

Thanks in advance!

You could provide two NOAs.

Any bill with their name and address on it - cell phone, insurance or bank statements.

how about health claims under province health card?

Do you have more than one NOA? That's enough.

Just wanted to know if health claims under province health card is a good document to submit? Forget about NOAs.

If your grandparents have received any prescription medications from pharmacies during their residency in Canada, you can obtain a printed history of these disbursements and submit it along with supporting documents. If they have not travelled outside Canada and have met the residency obligation, there should be no issues. Simply complete the IMM 5444e form and submit it with all available documentation.
Since your grandparents are fully dependent on you, documents such as rent agreements, utility bills, grocery receipts, credit card statements, or bank records are not mandatory.

Pharmacy records on their own not a great proof of residency. You don’t have to show ID to pick up most prescriptions and may have other people pick them up for you. People have also been known to fill Rx even if not in Canada and in some cases not qualifying for healthcare in Canada due to their absence. You typically have to go to the doctor in person which is why those are better records.
