I really wanted to apply this month but not sure how I can complete my application with small annoyances like passport photo places all closed down (I need to get the 2 photos done for the PR card) and providing evidence of a genuine relationship that I am currently unable to get like important documents (employment or insurance benefits) or documentary evidence of financial support as we have only recently arrived back in Canada and are both currently unemployed :confused:
Does anyone have suggestions or tips on some creative ways to show you could be recognized as each other's spouses?

A little backstory - we got married in Jan 2020 and didn't live together before that, I had quit my job to spend some months in Chile with him right after the wedding and we returned to Canada at the end of March due to COVID. I now want to submit an inland sponsorship for him but am struggling to come up with required official documents showing "relationship" evidence etc. Photos/letters from friends and family are no problem but documents showing financial support between us or any other documents in general proving we're each others spouses on paper (other than the marriage cert) is a little tricky for me as we've only recently arrived and have to find footing. Also we are anxious to get the application sent in this month as I've seen the super long processing times.

If you lived together in Chile and you have any documents from there to show as proof of cohab/relationship then it should be okay. It does not have to be from Canada only.

As for photos, i've seen a couple of people who have submitted their applications without the photos, an attached an LOE. IRCC wont be rejecting applications for missing documents as long as the applicants cant get such documents due to COVID and has provided a letter of explanation.
