Hi all,

I got my PR Card in October 2019 and then I went to India and got married on November 23rd 2019.
Now my wife is in India and I'm preparing PR application for her.
So far I've done following things

Download the checklist from CIC (link posted below)
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp#country

From the checklist, I've filled up the following forms
1. Document Checklist (IMM 5533)
2. Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship agreement and undertaking (IMM 1344)
3. Haven't paid application fee yet. But I'll pay soon
4. Financial Evaluation (IMM 1283) (I haven't filled up this form as we do not have any children)
5. Class of application (I choose Family class as she's in India right now)
6. Generic Application form for Canada (IMM 0008)
7. Country Specific requirement (N/A to me)
8. Additional Family Information (IMM 5406)
9. Background Declaration (IMM 5669)
10. Relationship information and sponsorship evalution (IMM 5532)
11. Use of Representative (N/A to me)
12. Authority to release personal information to designated individual (N/A to me)

Rest of the things in checklist are just questions.

Can someone please help me what to do next?
I have some doubts tho

1. Do I need to notarize my personal chat of Instagram/facebook with my wife form a lawyer?

My understanding is as follows

I think I need to filled out all the forms & sign it and get the sign from my wife as well.

Then I need to collect following documentations
1. Marriage Certificate
2. Birth certificate of my wife
3. My PR card
4. Marriage photos (20 photos)
5. Our facebook/whatsapp chat history
6. my employment income proof. (I can get that form my company in Canada)
7. Travel History documents (Boarding passes and tickets -- as we went to honeymoon outside india)
8. Police Clarence certificate of my wife
9. Medical exam (Not Required at this time as it's mention in checklist that Do not complete at this time)
10. Proof of my visit to her as I went India twice before I got marry so I have that
11. Other Proof that your relationship is recognized by friend/family member such as letter from friends and family)


If you look at the checklist page 8, they said I do need to provide at least 2 out of 4 documents from the list.
Here are those 4 documents

1. Important document for you and your spouse showqing that you are recognized as each other's spouse (such as employment or insurance benefit)

2. Documentary evidence of financial support between you and your sponsor, and/or shared expenses

3. Other Proof that your relationship is recognized by friend/family member such as letter from friends and family)

4. Proof of pat cohabitation, if you are not currently living together but did at one point in the past


Out of all 4, I can only able to provide 3rd one. and I still don't know what should I write in that letter?

Can anyone please help me?

Than you,
Vandan
