Housing, residence and presence in Québec
Proving where you live, since when and with whom is a frequent requirement: registering for a service, applying for aid, an immigration process, a housing file or a dispute with a landlord. When the usual documents are missing, a sworn declaration can supplement them.
The articles in this theme explain declarations of residence, accommodation, subletting and presence in Québec, as well as the forms some organizations publish on these topics. Always check which specific document your recipient requires.
