Proof of Relationship to Sponsor

[greenpea99]

Hi,
I am currently preparing an application package to apply for Inland Spousal Sponsorship. My spouse recently moved here on a Visitor Visa with me after we got married. It has only been a month since she moved here. I am having difficulties to gather documentations to show that my spouse and I are living together. As of now, we only have her Health Insurance policy and Join account bank paper. Will these be enough? What are the other ways of showing proof of living together?

Thank you !

Hi, Thank you very much for your reply. Will it matter when I do it ? I mean the date I add her to my beneficiary for my RRSP or cell phone bills. Will it matter if it was done only just before sending out the applications ?

Cellphone bill, Water/Power Bill, If you are renting your house then you can add your spouse to the lease etc.... these prove that you live together and can also give a glimpse of how long you have been living together. If you have been living together for a month, then that is what they will see. However it is proof of relationship to sponsor, so you can add more proof to show you are together/ have been together for this long; could be it chats, phone/video calls, letters from friends/family, etc

Will do. Thank you very much.

Yes you need some of your proof from the earliest day possible because that may be when you can prove you were living together.

things like Cellphone bill doesnt have to be joint though, right ? Can it be just her name with current address ?

Correct. As long as you provide enough documentation showing that you both reside at the same address, it doesn't have to be joint. I would advise you to provide enough, because it might slow you down before your final interview (i.e. they could request more proof).

yes...they just need to have the same address as yours
