Proof of relationship ?

[Kitsel]

I have photocopied (some color/some black & white) our photos together. Is this OK or do they need original photos? I have copied all the cards from flowers/gifts along with his bank statements showing corresponding entries. I am submitting a timeline of our relationship in bullet type format. I also have copies of plane tickets, a few phone records (cell phone is difficult to get records). I have about 65 pages. I have copies of his pension showing me as beneficiary. Is this sufficient or too much? I am in the US, have been together since 2012, were married last Dec.

It is not necessary to send originals. Also include letters from relatives/friends confirming the relationship.

And if you are from the US, two of the letters from friends and relatives will have to be notarized. Any additional letters need not be.

letters from friends and families dont have to be notarized. An original signature from the friends and families is good enough together with them writing their phone numbers at the bottom. Thats how we did it. Also if possible letters from clergymen, your doctor or perhaps a policeman, or professor you know are also highly credible to CIC. good luck

Yes, the notarisation is only needed for common-law applicants.

Thanks for the responses. I am not including letters as I have more than enough proof. I have pictures of us with friends and family, proof of several vacations together, proof of many events we attended & many many visits.
