#canuck_in_uk and other senior members - can you please help me with my query.

Hello experts/all, I am looking to sponsor my wife for inland PR. We have been married for less than a year. I have a query related to point# 7 of IMM 5533 Document Checklist - Spouse

7.Proof of Relationship to Sponsor- Here it asks for address proofs if myself and my spouse are living together in Canada and asks for atleast 2 set of documents. I do have a rental agreement that shows both my and my wife's name. So one document is done. Apart from that I am not sure what all I can put and select atleast 2 checkbox. I have below options:
> Joint utility account - We have Toronto Hydro utility account and I did get her listed as joint account but Toronto Hydro prints only one name on the bill. Can I use the screenshot from Toronto Hydro online account where it mentions my wife's name as secondary account holder? As they ask for a bill with joint names, is it ok if I select this checkbox and attach screenshot document?
> Govt. issued documents - Application asks for govt. issued document on both sponsor and principal applicant names. We do have my wife's (principal applicant's) photo resident card but no such document for me (the sponsor).
Is it mandatory that I apply and get the Driving License or photo resident card for myself before we submit the application?
As we dont have any govt. issue document with address, I can not select this checkbox for attaching document.​
>Other documents issued to sponsor or principal applicant with same address: we have several options here that we can submit:
#Internet on PA (wife's name)
#Photo resident card of PA
#Credit card on sponsor name
#Bank statement on sponsor name
#Tenant Insurance on sponsor name
#Hydro bill with sponsor name on bill (wife/PA name on detailed account screenshot)
#Visitor insurance receipts for Sponsor
#Visitor insurance receipt for PA
Is it fine if I submit these documents and select this other documents checkbox?

Please advise is it ok to select only 2 checkboxes (Rental Agreement and Other documents) and go ahead with application. Or suggest an alternate if I can do anything else to help strengthen my application considering our marriage is just 9 months old and we recently arrived in September.

Additional thing concerning me is that, I dont have a CRA notice of assessment and have only one salary slip as my employer pays monthly salary here and I have not yet completed 2 months. I am attaching letter of explanation and also employer letter stating my annual salary but still it concerns me.

Apologies for long query, kindly help with your experience and suggestions.

12 months is the hole application.but are different steps on it.thanks you thought
12 months is the average for the whole process, from sending the application to getting the PR. 80% of applications are processed in 12 months.

Help: does anyone know the difference between a security check and criminality? I thought they were the range?

Sponsor and applicant eligibility has been met.
Security checks were initiated Oct 23, 2018 and are in progress. They cannot be expedited and timelines are not available.
Criminality has not started.
Medicals are valid until Oct 12, 2019.

Submit those proofs. The letter of explanation in place of the NOA is fine.
Thanks mate for your response. My concern was just selecting only 2 check boxes in proof of relationship to sponsor.

Additionally I (sponsor) do not have a Driving License or Ontario photo resident card, is it fine to go ahead without these or should I apply and wait for that. That may be minimum 2-3 week wair. Please advise.

You only need to select 2.

It is not required.

Thanks buddy. One more query, in form 5532e there is a question for list of people who know about my and wife's relationship. In that we need to mention ''Date they met sponsor or principal applicant".

What date should I mention here - the date since I (sponsor) or my wife (principal applicant) know them or when the latter one got introduced to them?

Also I have printed the forms on both sides of paper. Hope that's is not an issue.

I feel really thankful to you for sharing your experience and helping us all with our queroes.

Depends on the person listed. If they knew you first, the date they met your partner. Or vice versa.

Double-sided is fine.
