Hi,
I am a Permanent Resident in Canada and am sponsoring my Wife/Spouse for PR under the Family Class. She is currently living in India, and I'm staying in Canada and we were married only a couple of months ago.
In the PR Checklist provided, under the section of "PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP TO THE SPONSOR", I need to select 2 of the following options.
I have a few supporting documents for the for the following points but I'm not sure which ones are applicable and if they would suffice as a solid proof.
1.) Important documents for you and your spouse showing that you are recognized as each other's spouse (such as employment or insurance benefits).
I have:
(a). Aadhaar Card (Indian ID Card) having my (husband's) name printed.
(b). Certificate from our temple where we were married (not the marriage certificate from court)
(c). Joint Bank Account Statement (doesn't state we are husband or wife on it though. It's a joint bank account under both of our names with the same address)
2.) Documentary evidence of financial support between you and your sponsor, and/or shared expenses.
I have:
(a). Money transfers to joint bank account (within the span of 1 month only).
(b). Expenses made from joint bank account (within the span of 1 month only).
3.) Other proof that your relationship is recognized by your friends and/or family (e.g. Letters from friends/family, social media information showing a public relationship, etc.).
I have:
(a). Social media (both Instagram & Facebook) posts liked and commented on by many friends.
(b). Letter from a family member recognizing our relationship.
4.) Proof of past cohabitation, if you are not currently living together but did at one point in the past.
I have:
(a). Welcome letters from hotels stayed during honeymoon.
(b). Self-written letter stating stay in India together for 3 weeks only.
Could someone please advice if the documents are sufficient or would I need to provide additional documents?
Thank you. Would really appreciate any kind of advice or suggestion.
