Help please! With the form IMM 5540

[Joakin17]

Referring to family class spousal sponsorship-
the last page of application IMM 5540 ( sponsor questionnaire) it says, " On a separate piece of paper please provide additional details of your current relationship that would prove your relationship is genuine and continuing"
THEN
item #25 on the sponsor checklist it states proof of relationship to sponsor..
My question is- Isn't this the same question? wouldn't I be repeating most of the information I would have provided through #25 on the checklist? I was under the assumption that photographs, tickets, receipts, info about our relationship from friends etc would all be compiled in #25?
I swear I am so tired re reading and second guessing that I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DID SO I CAN MAIL THIS BAD BOY!!

Thanks!

This is the very reason why most people send three separate `sections', within their giant envelope:

1. Sponsorship application and related documents, from the sponsor.

2. Application for sponsorship and related documents, from the applicant.

3. Evidence of relationship.


For questions like these, you would have written "Please see Evidence of Relationship documentation" (or similar).

The form is asking you for what we sometimes call the relationship essay. Here you can explain your relationship, and provide details that haven't been mentioned elsewhere, but that you think should be mentioned. Some people use this to provide a timeline of their relationship. So concrete pieces of evidence, such as photos or your lease, would not be added here, but could be referenced.
