I was just wondering if anyone being sponsored has had there tax documents requested in the case of a common law application?
Common Law- Is there any case of the applicant being asked for tax returns?

I can't answer your question directly, but I think they can ask for ANYTHING they want. A poster on this site was asked for credit history reports for both sponsor and applicant.
Nothing much to do about it but wait until they ask, and then provide any possible documentation and/or explain why you can't provide that documentation.

Hello kelKel,
Yes, we had. Actually that's why CIC-M sent our whole(!!!) applications back, with an attachement:
PROOF OF INCOME FOR SPONSOR (This section applies only to sponsors who are not residents of Quebec.)
1. Attach the following:
• An original Option C printout of your last Notice of Assessment for the most recent taxation year along with printouts of all income slips (e.g. T4,
T4E, T5, and T5007). To obtain these printouts free-of-charge from the Canada Revenue Agency, call 1 800 959-8281.
If you do not provide this printout, provide an explanation on a separate sheet of paper.
• If you received social assistance/welfare in the last 12 months that is not listed on the computer printout of the T5007, include:
- Photocopy of receipt from welfare
- Photocopy of receipt from any other government payment
• If you are employed, an original of a letter from your current employer stating your period of employment, salary, and regular hours per week
It will save you time if you send it right away.
Good luck!

Sorry, i didn't read your message correctly... If you were asking for the sponsor, yes you need to send it, but I don't think so, that they need the sponsored person's info as well. We had a lawyer and he never asked for any info about my tax returns, just my partner.
Hope it helps, and sorry

I had a lawyer recommend that the person being sponsored also include their tax returns (assuming that they made money in Canada) to support the financial part of the application. If you are being sponsored common-law, you don't need a minimum income, but really any little bit of extra information that supports your goal of staying and working in Canada helps.
