sponsor questions - please some clarity

Hi guys,

This might sound a bit stupid of me, but I honestly don't know how this procedure works but I'll just write down a few things
about me and my husband. We both have only a year apart in our ages, same level of education but we are from different
religions. We got married in a civil court in cyprus after 5 years of dating, but we had initially met online and met years
after, mainly because we both were studying in our own countries and were young when we met.

My husband's family was supportive of our relationship but mine wasn't as much... i don't know if I should say this as it
might weaken our case? I don't know because I don't want them to think our r/s is not true.
I have our email inboxes dating back to 2005 emails as evidence. I have phonebills of 2008 to present. Pictures of myself
with his family, our wedding, engagement and pictures we took together in cyprus when I went to visit him. Movie tickets,
the bill of the hotel where we stayed together. And then a proof from a second trip as well, when I went to see his family
in his homeland.

However, because we belong to different religions, I don't think my family would be very helpful in seeing us together.
It's sad but true that they never came to our wedding because he wasn't of the same faith as me. I honestly love him
and I think if he didn't get approved that I could leave canada for him, because I know we both just want to be together.
But the tricky situation is that in the background checks, will they do mine and verify our r/s with my relatives?

we did give letters from our friends that were present at our wedding and they attached their contact information, and I have
attached photos with my in laws and his siblings and relatives. It's just my family was not present and I did state this, but how
in detail should I go... would this make our r/s seem fake? I would think not, but some people who i have asked have said it might.

any help please!

and also what they will do to assess if I am eligible to sponsor.

I am over 18, born in canada.

I think as long as you write what you just said, it should be fine. If his family was present, that definitely helps your case. Also, attach all of those copies of phone bills, travel tickets, photos, etc.

We were approved for first stage after just 30 days, and that seems to be pretty common for most of the people on here. There's an eligibility checklist in the application package. I didn't think we'd qualify because I've never really lived in Canada (although I'm a citizen) and we simply attached a letter from my aunt stating that we're going to stay with her when we first arrived, and they approved it! It seems like that's the easy part, it's all the other stuff that's time-consuming and difficult. Good luck!
