IMM5533 Question 7 e

[ElrianVal]

Hello, I am currently applying for sponsorship with my wife and i got married with her in her country very recently.
For question 7 e) it lists these four options

a) important documents for you and your spouse showing that you are recognized as each other's spouse (such as employment or insurance benefits)
b) documentary evidence of financial support between you and your sponsor, and/or shared expenses
c)proof that your relationship is recognized by your friends and family
d) proof of pas cohabitation, if you are not currently living together but did at one point in the past

for part a) would this countries marriage certificate satisfy the condition for this question. as newlyweds that are doing outland its all we have
we also posted a photo on facebook for part c) because she is from a very conservative country are relationship could only be public the moment that we were legally married.

thank you

note that since we just got married recently there are no financials between us. i did visist her 5 months in her home country over summer. but this section seems really hard for me to fill out.

No, as you are already required to provide a marriage certificate in another question of the checklist. You will need something else. For my wife and I, we each got an official letter from our employers stating that we are recognized as married in their HR system.

relationship could only be public the moment that we were legally married.

You will either have to post more photos on social media over a period of time, or provide a letter of explanation for this. The marriage being recognized by friends and family is huge for IRCC.

do you think if i get lets say 2 of my friends and my 3 of my family members ( mom, grandmother and brother) to write me a letter it would be sufficient to satisfy this?

Was this an arranged marriage? If so, explain that and some parts of this will be obvious.

If not, collect what info you can about your marriage (which was public, right?) as evidence, take a bit longer to get some paperwork showing you are spouses, and also include a short note that you were not public about your relationship before you got legally married because not accepted socially in [country.]

Those are, in fact, all the types of things that would be expected. Just provide what you can.
