Proof of Relationship - What to include, how much?

It varies too much to tell.

Hi folks,

I am applying outland, but I have been living in Canada for 3.5 years, with my partner for 2.5 years, and in a relationship with him for 3.

I am getting ready to send my application, and I just noticed that the document says that "photos must be loose". I originally created a word document with the description of our many trips and the corresponding pictures below with a legend. There can be up to three pictures per page sometimes. Is that a problem, then? Should I only put one picture per page? Or just print pictures? I'm not sure what to do now.

Also, several forms ask for proofs of our relationship like pictures, bills and things like that. Should I print every proof several times? For example, do I have to include my 30-page photo album twice, because they ask for pictures in IMM5540 and IMM5490? I'm confused because they alway say to indicated which documents helps answering which question... So I wonder if I could refer to one photo album once only, but in several different forms. Same goes for passport stamps or plane tickets showing we travelled together, or bills and other mail showing we live together...

Thank you for your help!

You can leave the photos the way you have it arranged on the word document. It's fine.

As for the proof of the relationship, you don't need to print several time, just organized it all under the category of proof of relationship.

Thank you for your answer!

One last thing: since I'll refer to the same documents (proofs of relationship) several times, is it ok to put post-it notes on some of the forms to tell the person who will review the application to refer to "X page of X document", for instance?

Another situation would be in question 17 of IMM5440 - Sponsor Questionnaire: my partner had a common law husband before, so he has to answer yes to Have you ever been married or in a common-law conjugal partner relationship before. However, there is nothing to indicate which kind of relationship it was specifically, which in turn means that there is no way to explain why there are no divorce/separation papers attached - they just broke up and that was it. So I thought maybe putting a sticky note saying "common-law partner" would be the solution.

Will not comment on your medical status.
But you will probably get denied as you have not lived together

I'm pretty sure it will be difficult to be approved since you married 1 month after first meeting each other in person. Especially if you apply right away. They reject people who have known each other longer/lived together so you should try being together a while before applying.

The fact you are HIV positive will not matter. You can be sponsored anyway.
The problem is you got married the month after you met in person. Include as much proof as you can of how the relationship developed before you met in person.
The problem with not applying right away is that can also look suspicious if you do not have a good reason to wait. If your husband could stay with you for a few months, and then came back to Canada and applied, that would be better.
In any case, he should come visit you as often as possible, and for as long as possible.
