Additional Information Requested On Spousal Sponsorship For My Husband

[Mandy Cheema]

I applied for my Husband's sponsorship for PR IN July 2023 who is residing in Australia currently on a work permit. At the time of submission, I provided them proof of relationship including- proof of communications via chats, calls and video calls, and proof of my visit to Australia initially for my marriage and then later next year to visit him. We were married for 10 months when I applied for his PR.
Now IRCC has asked us to submit additional proof of relationship as mentioned below:
1. Proof of interdependence(financial, emotional, etc.)
2. Proof of any periods of cohabitation.
3. Proof of Visits.

After applying for my husband's PR file, We applied for his visitor's visa and got it shortly. Recently he visited me In Canada and stayed with me for 2.5 months and now has gone back to his country of residence.
My only concern regarding providing this additional information is-
how can I provide the Proof of emotional interdependence?
Also for proof of cohabitation do I only provide the proof regarding his recent visit which happened after our file submission or resubmit the previous proofs again of my previous visits which were originally all submitted during the submission of the initial application for PR? Regarding the proof of cohabitation would a driver's license for the same address be enough? As I do not have any rental or utility bill under his name.
We also do not have a joint account yet, Though we did open an account under his name at a local branch near our house. I can provide that as proof of the same address as well.
Proof of communication is not asked but is it required of me to submit some more screenshots of our communications after the submission of our file initially?
I can also generate some letters of support from relatives who all know about our relationship and met us during my husband's visit to Canada. My mother and brother also live with me, I can provide letters of support from them as well regarding his visit here and our relationship as a family.

I am just a little less aware of what and how to submit everything asked in the right or apt way, I do not want to over-submit or resubmit anything, that being said also do not want the officer to think that I could not produce anything when asked.

Is there any possibility that the officer would have missed a few documents in my previous file to check thoroughly as we provided almost 15 support letters from friends and family who visited our marriage ceremony in Australia and have also provided ample communications proofs and pictures of my visits to Australia?
Because I have no idea what to provide as proof of emotional support or proof of emotional interdependence.
I had already submitted a personal statement notarized earlier stating all the emotional aspects of our relationship in which I had mentioned a couple of personal issues in my husband's life which I am fully aware and supportive of.
I am going blankly thinking about what to mention in a personal statement to prove emotional interdependency. Also, would that be enough to show it as proof of emotional interdependency because that will be word of mouth? Please help me out anyone if someone has any idea about this or may have seen or been in such a situation?
All or any comments, Ideas and suggestions are welcome. Please feel free to message me, I have 3 weeks left to submit the above mentioned.

Thank you!

My wife and I recently had a similar request sent to us in January. They wanted proof of our relationship specifically from the past year since we submitted our application (Oct 2022).

We sent in a lot of stuff, probably 15+ documents in total. I would recommend gathering communications that you've had with your husband dated after your application submission date, photos from your visits together, flight confirmations, visa information (if he needed one to come to Canada). I specifically chose communications where my wife and I were having more complex, emotional discussions between us to show that we do rely on one another emotionally even though we're physically apart from one another.

Focus on what has been done from the past year, from July '23 until now. They're most likely wanting to see that you've still been keeping continuous touch over the last year and just prove that the relationship is legitimate. Try not to get too caught up in the semantics/the single line, though I know that can be hard.

And if it helps to reassure you, my wife received her PPR just this week. The likely case is that whoever is handling your case is just making sure all of their t's are crossed and i's are dotted.
