Hi all, the new application states a maximum 20 photos, I unfortunately don't think I have even this, we are not social media posters or prolific photo/video takers, I had a few on my old phone which was damaged and lost, how important are the photos, we would have a few of us on Halloween with my partners family at Christmas and some of us at a funfair, we have 90,000 facebook messages though and proof that I've been pregnant but miscarried, my partner is also listed as my sons next of kin(not his biological son) at daycare and on insurance documents, should I explain that we have very little photos and why or just send what we have? Any thoughts?
P/s for context, we've been living together in Canada for over two years now via return trips and visa extensions and have a lease together on our apartment here.
Thanks for any advices...

Just send what you have. You have a lot of other evidence that should outweigh not having a lot of photos.

I agree with Canadianwoman,

Send as much proof as possible and whatever pics you have. The ambundance of additional info should outweigh the lack of photos.

All the best.

I believe the wording is "maximum 20 photos" so it's not a set amount.

You could always take a few more now, there's no date requirement, as long as the aren't ALL taken at the same time.
