Our relationship started on 2011. Before marriage we never lived together. On april 2016 i got PR and moved to Ottawa. In February 2017 i went back Bangladesh and married her on march 10. After living together at my parental house for 51day i came back to Ottawa on April 30,2017. Now im applying for her.

On the last page of IMM5533 regarding supporting documents for principal applicant it says:

Provide One (1) document from three(3) of the following sets of options:
1. joint ownership of residential property or joint residential leases or joint rental agreements listing bothe the sponsor and the principal applicant (minimum 1 doucument)
2. proof of joint utilities account(electricity, gas, telephone), (minimum 1 doucument)
3. 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
4. Important documents for you or your sponsor showing that you are recognized as each other’s spouse(such as employment or insurance benefits). (minimum 1 doucument)
5. Documentary evidence of financial support between your sponsor and yourself
6. Other proof that your relationship is recongnized by your frieds and or family (e.g. letters, social media information showing a public relationship, etc)

So, Here i need to provide total 3 documents

#1 & #2 is not possible for me because we lived togather for only 51days at my parents house (everything in my father's name)

#3 - my wife's passport was made after we got married and has the same permanent address as in my passport. So i think i get one document from here

#4- again in her passport she has my name as husband, can i submit the same document for #3 & #4?
Or, im thinking of an alternative solution - if I make her my nominee in my TDbank account does that work?

#5- I think i can do this one. If i send her money using moneygram does that money transfer receipt work?

#6- she never had any social media account. I had one Facebook account which i deactivated last year.
Does wedding invitation card works in this category?

Just provide what is applicale for you, i sent her money using moneygram & attached the receipts as well. Also open a TFSA bank account & include her as beneficiary, change your cic status online to married & attach that screenshot as well. Rent, hydro etc are applicable only for inland applicants, its a glitch on their application system. Btw I got married back in Bangladesh too, cheers

TFSA account? Just go to your bank & tell them that u want to open tax free saving account, do like $50/month account & also add your wife, thats how you will have one more supporting document. You can even add her to your medical insurance like if you get something from your workplace & also provide that proof.


Thanks sincerely for the quick response
Could you tell me how to do that?

Not TFSA.
Sorry for the confusion, I need to know how to change my marital status online?

I need one more suggestion, they asked to send documents form any 3 categories . Now, if i have documents from 4 categories- which 3 should i send? I have these documents:

1. For category #3: I can submit my and my wife's passport. both show same permanent address.

2. For category #4: my wife's passport (has my name as spouse) + TFSA Papers showing beneficiary + screenshot from CIC webpage showing spouse's name

3. For category #5: Moneygram receipt to prove financial support (i have sent her money only once)

4. For category #6: Wedding invitation card

To change your marital status online you need to open up a new account for CRA or if you already have it then just log in & you will see under relationshipt status you can change is to "married" also can add her name. I took screenshot of that whole page & printed out. I didn't submit anything for Cat #1,2 & 3. Those are for inland applicants I would say. For Cat#4 I submitted CRA online screenshot, TFSA, CAT#5 I submitted receipt, Cat#6 I submitted screenshot of my facebook's account & my wife's Facebook's account to show every1 knew about our relationship etc. In your case you can attach wedding card or whatever information you have, shouldn't be a problem.
