Sorry, can't read my last posting, I have to write in English.
Must I sign a lease ?
As a federal immigrant, I landed in Montreal end of last month. Now I am sharing an apartment with my roommate, the lease is under his name for a long time already. I applied for SIN number successfully, and with a notarized written statment from him stating that I am living with him in the same address, I applied for the medical card without any problem, too. But I haven't signed up for COFI yet, maybe later, which I am thinking about.
To make sure that I will get my Quebec resident status and previlige after 3 months, do I have to sign a lease anyway?
If so, what should I do then? Ask my roommate to add my name to his existing lease? Or sign a lease contract between him and me (sublease)? Your experience and advice are very appreciated.
