Hi again, all...
American husband and we're doing inland...
This is specifically about the section on the new checklist that asks for 1 document from 2 of the 3 following areas:
A) Joint ownership of residential property or joint residential leases or joint rental agreements listing both the sponsor and the principal
applicant; (Minimum 1 document).
B) Proof of joint utilities accounts (electricity, gas, telephone); (Minimum 1 document).
C)Important documents for you and your sponsor showing the same address, such as copies of Government issued identification
documents: driver's licenses, insurance policies, etc. (Minimum 1 document).
A) I have lived in the apartment for 5+ years, and I only had a real lease for the first year. I've been on month to month since then. I asked the superintendent to talk to the landlord about us signing a new lease with both of us on it--he said he will do this, but our rent will increase by $200 per month. That sounds crazy, but that is what these units are going for now, so since we would be signing a new agreement just like new tenants, it's not really that crazy (the landlord really is a dick, and certainly doesn't do anyone in the building any favours--pretty much whatever he can get away with within the law, he does--so, this really doesn't surprise me). Anyway, since my husband can't work until he gets his work permit (which we need to do the PR app in order for him to get that), it would be impossible for us to pay an extra $200 a month on my one Tim Horton's income.
We need a lease to send in the PR app and get the work permit, and thus income from my husband, but we need the income from my husband to get a lease. Conundrum. So this one is out--we just can't do it.
B) Utilities are included in the rent. Soooo... no electricity or gas bills we can show together. We have one cell phone that is in my name, and they don't do joint accounts, so I can't add him. We have one internet connection, same story. So, apparently we can't do this one, either.
C) This is the one we can do. I have an Ontario ID card, and so does my husband. Same address, since we both live here
. There might be other things we can show from this category... but not really important, I guess, since we have this one covered, already.
We have a joint bank account and he is my death benefit beneficiary on my insurance from work, but those things aren't asked for until the next section on the checklist.
This is the one thing that is hanging the whole damned thing up, and I'm almost to the point of pulling my hair out. We're expecting our first baby in June, and we really need him to be working by then. Every week that passes that we can't send this thing in because it's not yet complete is one more week of him not working, really.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can provide some ideas about this.
