Freaking out

[DarkDragons91]

So I just recieved this:

This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada.



In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents:



- Additional proof of relationship: document proving your ongoing relationship with your sponsor. This may include but is not limited to: outing pictures, e-mail and/or letter exchanges, cards, recent joint bank account statements, insurance policies or anything naming your spouse as beneficiary.



- A copy of Canada Revenue Agency's Notice of tax Assessment or “Option C Printout” for your sponsor most recent taxation year (2014).

- A copy of your sponsor most recent pay stub.



- Indicate your current mailing address.




My boyfriend does not work at all so he does not have a paystub nor does he have any form of income. Should I write a letter explaining that he does not have either of those, with my mailing address.

I am also at a loss with the relationship proof also. I printed everything I had when I sent it in september. All the plane tickets that I have, all the pcitures, some of our emails. I don't know what else they could want???

Can I have him send all of the information for me? I need to get it all to them in 45 days. I am scared that I wont have all that I need.

First thing, edit your post and remove your guys name Some people are weird don't risk it

Give them anything you have collected from the time that you have submitted your application to now. New emails, phone records, skype, whatever you have.

If he doesn't work, how does he support himself? In order for him to receive sponsor approval you should have a letter outlining how you will support yourselves and not rely on welfare. For right now, have him write a letter about how he currently supports himself. If he is not required to file taxes, be sure to note that in the letter while reminding them that he doesn't have access to an Option C printout because he does not need to file taxes.

Lastly, take a deep breath and don't freak out. This is common information they require and nothing out of the ordinary.

Best

Alright, I believe I removed all the naming from my original post. Thank you very much for that.

He is supported by his mother. He lives in her apartment and is a full time engineering student. So all his money pretty much goes there. I was hoping to move up there and file for the open work permit but I didn't know that applying out-land would ruin that. So I am going to have to wait for all this to go through first before I can attempt the open work permit.

I will make sure to have him write a letter on how he supports himself. I will probably ask his mother to write a letter also if that would help?? He just sent me his option C print out currently. I guess he did file taxes this year.

I'm wondering if CIC is unconvinced by the "common-law" aspects of your application.
You DO qualify as common-law to CIC's specifications?

 

[DarkDragons91]

We had the common-law paper signed and I lived with him for a year. I sent all the documentation for it also. All the visits and my visitors record for that year.

 

[scylla]

You must have stuff you can send from between September and now that shows you have an ongoing relationship. For example, emails and/or texts where you discuss your future plans and your move up here, regular (i.e. daily) conversations back and forth, etc.

What else did you include, besides the Statutory Declaration of Common Law to prove that you had been living together for at least 1 full year?

Hopefully, you knew that you would need more than just that one form, as it doesn't even really prove much; the person witnessing you both signing that document doesn't really know if it's true or not, right?

Did you include copies of mail that had been addressed to each/both of you at the same address?

A letter from his landlord verifying that you've been living there with him?

Anything?!

Plane tickets and emails will do nothing to prove the most important thing for a Common-Law applicant...cohabiting with their sponsor!

I think this reply is because you did not provide everything in the checklist, if some don't apply for you check NA but don't freak out it just seems you didn't gather enough proof proof such as email communication, facebook msgs tango wechat whatever you can gather of proof and yah your option c will help more than your notice of assessment but either works if you work provide employement record there not really asking much just what was required in the checklist no need to freak out wish you the best on your next try

 

[canadianwoman]

They want relationship proof from the time you submitted the application until now. If you have anything else from before, you can send that too.

Even if he had no income, he can still file income tax and get an option c. It seems he did this, so send it in.

He should have a letter from his mother stating she supports him while he goes to school. You should also include a letter explaining how you two will support yourselves when you get PR. You can explain you will be living with his mother until he graduates, that you will get a job as soon as possible, that his mother will help you two until you have a job, etc.

 

[jamsham12]

just curious Darkdragons, which VO did you apply through?

 

[Sheps]

Darkdragons is an American Citizen, she will be processed through either Ottawa or LA.

Darkdragons, you should calm down, it sounds like they want proof of your relationship. Include as much relevant information as you can for them. This includes chats, photo's (recent and old), phone bills, bank statements if either of you send money to each other, gift receipts for the other (photo's of the gift as well with the person if possible). For common law, they want you living in a marriage like "state" (for lack of a better word, dependent on each other for support, be it emotional, physical, financial, etc, etc, etc), if you are just living together for the sake of living together, you are just boyfriend and girlfriend. You also really need to make sure your cohabitation portion of it is solid, and I mean air tight. It sounds more like they are worried about the current, ongoing relationship and not the common law however, but whatever you can do to bolster that is good as well.

I remember your last post where you talked about marriage, did you get married yet? If not, don't forget to update CIC when that happens.

Did your sponsor already receive sponsorship approval? Are you sure you didn't submit inland instead?

Oh wow, So many helpful people. I am so happy I found this site.

I have applied out land. I made sure of that because I had to leave Canada. I will make sure to have his mother write that letter for sure. I will make sure to get more photos and things like that and send it to them. I was hoping to live with him permanently when I first moved there but it didn't work out the way we wanted it to.

Thank all off you for all the examples I can do. I really do plan on getting a owp as soon as I move up there. I don't want to support myself and him using his mothers money forever.

We have not gotten married yet. We were hoping to get married in July but it might be put off for a little bit. I was worried more about that, I think the first time I sent it I said we been together for 10 years. XD. I can not really prove it as 10 years is a lot of lost emails and texts. I been through at least 6 different computers sense I was 13 rofl.

I sent in letters from my mother about our relationship, I had his mother write one. 3 of my best friends who knew me for 6 years have also wrote letters for me. There are also a lot of cussing and some fighting in our messages that make me feel that it would more hinder us being together.

 

[Ponga]

Yes...but what do you have that will prove that you actually lived together for one year?

 

[DarkDragons91]

All I have is the visitors record and the letters from both our moms.

Uh oh...I don't see how that is going to prove to CIC that you and he were living together for at least one year. The visitor record only shows that you were (somewhere) in Canada, but doesn't do anything to prove that you were at his address.

Same for the letter from your respective mothers.

I'd suggest that you somehow find a way for his landlord to at least write a letter for you, which you would need to have notarized.

Proving that you've lived together is the most important part of the Common-Law application.


Good luck!
