Additional proof of marriage

[8130093Bo 5]

Hi, besides the marriage certificate, what additional proof of marriage do you need to submit? 

She lives in Canada, and I live in USA. 

We don't have a common lease. We don't have commingled bank accounts, yet. But she can add me to her canada bank account? 

What proof do they require? 

When I came to canada to meet here, we stayed together in an AirBNB for three months, so we have pictures, text, flight. 

Here is what they state on the form:
 

• Documentation showing joint ownership of property

• A lease showing joint tenancy of a common residence, meaning you both live at the same address together

• Documentation showing that you and your spouse have combined your financial resources

• Birth certificates of children born to you and your spouse together

• Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties having personal knowledge of the bona fides of the marital relationship. Each affidavit must contain the full name and address of the person making the affidavit; date and place of birth of the person making the affidavit; and complete information and details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge of your marriage

• Any other relevant documentation to establish that there is an ongoing marital union

Wills, powers of attorney, other estate documents.  Affidavits are for people who have nothing else to provide.

And concentrate on evidence of time spent together in person.  That's really the most important evidence.
