I am sponsoring my husband who lives in Pakistan. ( I live in Canada)
There are few things that I'm confused about.

The first Q. is that my husband did not ever join military service, so does he need to fill out the IMM5546 (info on military service)?
Online, it says that if a question does not apply to you, write N/A, which at least shows that you have read the question.
So, he can write his name on the form IMM5546 and just write N/A for the rest of the form.
However, on the checklist, under documents required by the applicant, it asks if the applicant has worked in a military (yes or no option). Following that, if the answer was yes, please fill in the country requirement document, that is, IMM5546. But since the answer is no, does not that mean that there is no need to fill out IMM5546?
So do I need to fill out IMM5546 or leave it out.

2nd Q. On IMM5532, page 6, it asks if the following list of people have attended your ceremony. One of those people are Applicant's child(ren) and sponsor's child(ren).
Neither one of us have any children.
The answer is either a Yes or No.
So it is like this:
Did any of the following people go to any of the events above? principal applicant's child(ren) if applicable? (YES/NO)
Sponsor's child(ren) if applicable? (YES/NO)
should I leave this part unmarked and later with pen mark beside it N/A?
If I mark both of them as NO, the following question asks if not to any of the above, explain. Should I explain then that neither one of us has any children.
So, should I leave it unmarked, or answer No followed by the explanation.

3rd Q. Again, on IMM 5532, page 3, it asks the applicant if the sponsor is related to you in any way?
It gives an example such as a sponsor's relative is related to a relative of the applicant, which is a simple, uncomplicated relation, hence, they are related.
However, my husband and I have complicated relation, that is, my relative's mother in law's 2nd cousin's nephew. Does that mean we are related? if yes, do I have to list all the people involved to make that relation (that is, my relative and her mother in law, and then that mother in law's 2nd cousin)

Lastly, please advice on how to sort out the documents, that is, Checklist>Barcode Pages>rest of the application, or Barcode pages>checklist>rest of the application.

Any sort of help will be appreciated, thanks.

Military service information was not originally a requirement for me as I did not have a country specific checklist. I was, however, in the military as stated on my background declaration. They sent a request for IMM5546 via Mycic account. It specifically stated "Military Records (IMM 5546E): Please provide A certified copy of Military records. If you were exempt, please provide official proof of military exemption from the relevant authority." If you are from a country which may usually require military service, they may want proof of exemption.
