    Filing taxes as a work permit holder

    Insufficient proof of cohabitation and more proof of relationship

    Found my last tax return. It shows him listed as my spouse, but no other information because we weren't living together for most of that tax year. He had only been here on visitor status for a short time at time of filing so no SIN or income to report.

    Insufficient proof of cohabitation and more proof of relationship

    Currently searching for them but I do believe I have my two documents showing him as spouse. Another question? How on earth do we upload all this proof?? It only gives us the option to submit one PDF file. I've read on this forum that the max file size is 4mb. The pdf we've started adding the...

    Insufficient proof of cohabitation and more proof of relationship

    I do have a letter from IRCC, good idea! I could get receipts from Uber/Amazon for each of seperately, with the same address, but none with BOTH names in one receipt. That's still ok right? I also got a letter from the personnel manager at my work confirming that I listed my husband as spouse...

    Insufficient proof of cohabitation and more proof of relationship

    Thank you for the reply! My husband just got his work permit two weeks ago, and is still waiting for his SIN to arrive so he's not working yet. I am working though. And he's been living with me the entire time, no trips or gaps.

    Insufficient proof of cohabitation and more proof of relationship

    Hi everyone! I'm sponsoring my husband (US citizen) from inland. We just received a notice saying we didn't provide sufficient proof of cohabitation. We're struggling to find enough proof to send. We live with my parents, who do not charge us rent/utilities ect so we don't have any bills of...

    I thought you couldn't apply for a SIN until after you were approved? What did I miss? Lol

    So we finally linked out OWP after talking to someone from IRCC. Our mistake was in the "given name" portion of the linking. We assumed that just meant his first name, but apparently it actually means first AND middle name ‍♀️ but it worked, and it says the application is in process. Hopefully...

    Not sure if anyone here would know, but we're wondering if our OWP will be delayed because of accidently not paying the second fee. When they sent it back to us we were instructed to send the amended application to the work permit office in Alberta, when we initially sent it and the PR app to...

    The whole OWP process is seemingly very complicated lol. What if we're not able to link it but they require more information or something? Would they send us something in the mail?

    The PR application is "in process" and is currently at 25% completion! The OWP app was sent back to us because we accidently missed one of the fees. We paid it and sent it back, was recieved on January 24th. We haven't been able to to link it yet though.

    ***NOVEMBER 2019 INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP***

    They sent back our work permit application today because of "insufficient processing fees were provided with your application". Not really sure what that means. We paid the $100 work permit fee and submitted the proof of payment.

    We tried linking OWP using ICU and surname then tried once with passport and once with birthplace. Neither worked for us.
