Proof of Relationship requirements for Spousal OWP (Outland Sponsorship / AOR received)

[MmNAmN]

Hi everyone,

I recently received my Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) for my Outland Spousal Sponsorship and am now preparing my Open Work Permit (OWP) application. My wife is a Canadian PR and I am currently in Canada with her.

I’m looking for clarity on the "Proof of Relationship" section for the OWP. Since a full evidence package was already submitted with the initial PR application, I’m unsure how much to include now:

1. Is the Marriage Certificate sufficient, or should I re-upload the supporting evidence like chat logs etc?
2. Cohabitation Proof: Is it mandatory to prove we are living under the same roof for the OWP stage? I’ve recently moved and opened a bank account/mobile plan but I don't have the first statements or bills yet.

If cohabitation proof is required and I haven't received my first utility bills or bank statements yet, what are the best alternative documents to provide?

I appreciate any guidance or personal experiences you can share!
