In my student co-operative (Neill-Wycik) we (the students) are often
asked for statements that a student paid ~$250/month for rent. 
(Note: this is not classified as a "residence"). Last
year my roomate tried to avoid the hassle and sent his statement along
with his return. Revenue Canada then asked him again for the same
statement! What a system.

BTW: we get our statements free-of-charge.
