Hi,
Me and my boyfriend are going to apply as common law partners. He is the principal applicant since his sister in Manitoba will be the one who will be the sponsor.
I am from Philippines and I have heard that the VO for Philippines are more strict in terms of proofs for common-law partners. My problem is that, I don't know if our evidences are well enough.
Here are the list of items I am going to submit:
- 100 of photos together since May 2011(we have photos with friends, me with his family, and my BF with my family also)
- 5 statutory declarations, notarized
- 4 letters from friends and office mates vouching our relationship since we are just working on same company
-skype messages, email messages
-fb messages
-lease agreement from landlord stating I am living starting October 20, 2012
-joint bank account
-credit card (supplementary) but only got it December 2013
-company ID's where we have same addresses and he is the one I put as someone they can call in case of emergency
-package receipts that were mailed to me at our address.
-Driver's license where we have same addresses and he is the one I put as someone they can call in case of emergency but just renewed it this December 2013.
Please help me on what should be added here and if I should still put the credit card since it's just new.
Thank a lot.

That's an impressive list Bibut! This should be enough. What else could you possibly give them? If they still don't believe you two are an item I don't know what will convince them.
