Hi everyone,
I need some guidance on the following query:
I am applying for a Spousal sponsorship PR application to sponsor my wife. My wife is the principal applicant and currently lives in India. I got my permanent residency in Canada last year, and I travelled to India last month (February) for our wedding. Now I am back in Canada after completing the wedding. My wife already had a Canadian TRV before our marriage, and she will be travelling to Canada for the first time as a visitor. Once she has arrived in Canada, I will be submitting her application under the following Class: "I am currently living in Canada, and I am applying under the Family Class".
While filling out all the forms, I am confused about the following question:
If I check YES on the above question, they have asked to provide at least 2 of the following documents:
As per the above documents, I just have the Rental agreement showing both of us as the occupants. But since she's coming as a visitor, she couldn't open a bank account, or put her name on the utility account, or any bills. What should I submit as a second set of documents to prove that we live together in my case?
Secondly, considering I submit the application while she is in India - "Under Family class, but living outside Canada." In that case, I check NO to the above question, provide the documents to prove our relationship, and then she travels to Canada as a visitor. I want to know how the application process works after she lands in Canada as a visitor.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

While filling out all the forms, I am confused about the following question:
- According to IMM5533e - Document Checklist Spouse - Under Supporting Documents for Sponsored Persons
- Are you and your spouse currently living together?
If I check YES on the above question, they have asked to provide at least 2 of the following documents:
- Proof of joint ownership of residential property.
- Rental agreement showing both the applicant and sponsor as occupants.
- Proof of joint utility accounts, joint credit card accounts, or joint bank accounts (minimum of one joint bill).
- Vehicle insurance indicating both individuals as residents of the insured address.
- Government-issued documents for both individuals showing the same address (minimum of one document per person).
- Other documents showing the same address, whether held jointly or individually (e.g., cell phone bills, pay stubs, tax forms, bank or credit card statements, insurance policies).
As per the above documents, I just have the Rental agreement showing both of us as the occupants.
