My common-law and I will visiting Canada soon. We are both visitors.

I will be applying ONLINE. In IMM5409E i checked that we have jointly signed a mortgage lease/apartment contract.

In our continuous 1 year of being a common-law partner, we reside in 2 apartments (Dec to September and September to present)

Now my question is, where will I attach these documents/proof/contracts?

IMM5409E needs to be printed and notarized, then scanned together with the proof/contracts of our apartment, then upload as one document?

Is this correct?

That is one option. Usually all attached documentation is appended to the letter of explanation.

In the optional section (down below).

Purpose of Travel and Letter of Explanation are different things.

Oh okay so Ive seen the Letter of Explanation.

What else should I include here aside from the contracts of our apartments?

In the Purpose of Travel, I have included the ff:

- Invitation Letter from my sister and her husband
- Sister and her husband's Bank Statements
- Sister and her husband's Employment Certificate
- Sister and her husband's PR Cards
- Sister and her husband's T4s
- My employment contract
- Investment Certificate
- My Bank Statement and my fiance's Bank Statement
- Apartment Lease Contract

Will this be okay or should I also create a letter of explanation?

No need for T4s, no need for Employment certificate.

Everything should be written down in a single letter of explanation, if you need more then that usually means you are trying too hard (which is bad for a TRV application).

I've read somewhere that there should be proof that the inviter has enough budget to support us?


Then what should I indicate in the Purpose of Travel?

You have provided enough evidence, unless T4s and employment letter add something that is not visible in the bank statements they are just redundant.

goms said:

The purpose of your travel. Only you know.
