Hello all, my wife and I are getting ready to submit our sponsorship application. I am sponsoring her to come here from PH. I have some questions about the bolded statement below
One (1) documents from three (3) of the following sets of options:
Joint ownership of residential property or joint residential agreements listing both the sponsor and principal applicant; (Minimum 1 document).
Proof of joint utilities accounts (electricity, gas, telephone); (Minimum 1 document).
Important documents for you and your sponsor showing the same address such as copies of Government issued identification documents: driver's licenses, insurance policies, etc.
Important documents showing that you are recognized as each other's spouse (such as employment or insurance benefits). (Minimum 1 document).
Documentary evidence of financial support between your sponsor and yourself.
Other proof that your relationship is recognized by your friends and/or family (e.g. letters, social media information showing a public relationship, etc.)
QUESTIONS ABOUT TEXT ABOVE:
I want to make sure I am understanding this statement right. My wife will need to provide 3 documents?
- We are recently married. We don't have insurance policies taken out on each other just yet. But, I've got her listed and a beneficiary one a life insurance policy I've taken out on myself through work. She's currently unemployed (she was laid off in a few months ago) so should she take a life insurance policy out on me in the Philippines?
- We've never really had to financially support each other. We have a couple transactions through PayPal and one through Western Union. She can support herself just fine and I've never been asked to send her money to support her in anyway. Our money transfers have only been used to repay each other for certain expenses, such as hotels and flights. Should I provide those receipts?
Also further down in the form it asks for proof of visitation. She's never been to Canada (she applied for tourist visa and was denied for some unfortunate reason). However, we've travelled together, should she have her passport photocopied with the stamps that she has for the places we did go together? (If so, should I also provide photo copies of the stamps in my passport?) One place we travelled together was Hong Kong, which doesn't stamp your passport. That said, we have printed out our flight details from that trip. I flew from Vancouver, she flew from Manila. Will that be acceptable?
Thanks for the help.
