I made sure I did not repeat the pictures. We took lot of photos, so used as much as possible and used different pics for both questionnaires. But, you don't need to do that if you have very few pics.
Marriage after AOR help with forms

Hi
Thanks!!
Hi @vikigenius, I am also sailing in the same boat, I also requested IRCC to add my spouse in my application. Could you tell me after how many days did you get additional documents request from them and also if you could share the webform link as well?
Thanks!!
I got ADR within a week of me contacting IRCC. Here is the webform https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx?
If you have a slot for receipt, then upload it. In my case, I did not have a slot for receipt. So I sent the receipt along with other documents as one pdf.
You need pay in the below link. I believe you need to create an account using the same email ID you have for your IRCC portal.

Yep, I also have a single slot only and will try to upload as one document.
What did you do for spouse photo? Wouldn't it be better as jpg? Or did you include that also as part of PDF?
Also, how did you manage to sign the forms? Did you print as PDF and then use Adobe signature? Because Adobe is not directly allowing me to sign the Imm 0008 form.
Scanned and added the photo. I physically signed and scanned the signature pages. Dont print the other pages, just print the signature page and scan it.
How did you handle the IMM 0008 form? It has that validate button right? Did you fill out the form and press validate? Did you print all the pages and then sign? Because if I try to merge only the signature page after printing it seems to change something with the barcode numbers.
click validate and then print the signature page alone. later add it to the imm 008 form. Don't print and can barcode page. Also, move the barcode page to the top. I simple followed the below guide from ircc.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/complete-0008-5669.html#personal-details
Take a look.
When saying top, do you mean top of the IMM 0008 form or top of the entire PDF. You did merge IMM 0008 with the other documents right?
Right now I am thinking the first page will be the Explanation Letter and also the index of what all is included. Then comes the IMM 0008 form and then other forms and documents.
Also can you recommend the tool you used for merging and moving around PDF pages?
Top of the IMM 0008 not the entire document. Read the link I shared. You will understand what I am saying. Also, I had adobe full version but you can also use Smallpdf which offers 7 day trial. Make sure you go and cancel the subscription before the 7th day.
Yeah, I read it but the wording is confusing because it seems like the guide is for paper application. Whereas we are submitting online.
Because if you read the section about Consent and Declaration of Applicant
It says
Print all pages of your application form.
And also says
Place the barcode page(s) on the top of your application (forms and supporting documents) when you submit it.
Instead of printing, I re arranged pdf and put the barcode page to the top. I only Printed and scanned the signature page and then attached it to the rest.
Hi @RSub thanks a lot for your help so far.
What photos did you include in your questionnaire. Because there is only one question specifically mentioning photos
What photos did you include in your questionnaire. Because there is only one question specifically mentioning photos
But there is an entirely separate doucment request for relationship proof
So I am not sure which questions should be part of the questionnaire and which should be part of the relationship proof. 15 photos are going to take up lot of space.
I included photos of our outing before and after marriage. I also included photos of engagement, marriage and reception rituals for the questions related marriage , engagement, reception questions in the questionnaire. While they did not ask for photos, I added them for my satisfaction. Its better to give more information.
To keep the size down, I added photos in a word document and then converted into a pdf. Then compressed the pdf.
Also, was asked to provide Marraige photos ( upto 15) apart from questionnaire.
I believe everyone get the same questionnaire and request for documents. If you have photos for questions they asked, just add them. If you don’t have, ignore adding pictures and move on to next one. Just keep it simple.
