If you are being sponsored by your parent, you must provide proof of the relationship such as birth certificates, baptismal certificates or other official document naming your parents.
If you are being sponsored by your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, you must send evidence of the relationship between you and your sponsor such as wedding photos or proof that you are partners, letters between you and your sponsor, and telephone bills showing contact between you and your sponsor. Note: Photos must be loose; do not send them in binders, albums, frames or other such containers. Do not send video discs or video cassettes. Do not send musical greeeting cards or other similar documents containing electronic or mechanical devices.
Proof of your sponsor’s visits such as airline ticket coupons, boarding passes, copies of pages of your sponsor's passport showing entry/exit stamps.
If you are a common-law or conjugal partner, provide evidence that your relationship is genuine and continuing and has existed for at least 12 months prior to your application. Also provide details of the history of your relationship and at least two statutory declarations from individuals with personal knowledge of your relationship supporting your claim that the relationship is genuine and continuing.

Copy Pasted directly from the Country Specific - Family Class - Sponsored Person Guide. I am sponsoring my spouse who is Thai. I have everything they ask for ready to go. Planned on sending this forms off today. Reading it one last time before I packaged it all up, and read the two statutory declarations from individuals is required... Is this only for Common Law Partners?? Or will I need to do this for my spouse and I??

Spouses have a legal document to support their commitment. Common law and conjugal applicants require external confirmation of their relationships because the legal docs are missing.

I was sponsored in the common law class, we did not send any letters with the application at all. To be honest, I think we must have missed that bit in the application instructions. I was approved and got my PR in just under 8 months and that was Inland.

Hope that helps.

So couples who are married do not need to add letters from friends/family who knew about your relationship being genuine in the application form for Spousal Sponsorship?

Married applicants don't need to add letters from family or friends, but they can if they want. If you are worried that you don't have enough evidence of a genuine relationship, these letters are useful.
