It's pretty straightforward - if you're not living together now, the answer to the question 'are you living together now' is no.
Hi sndpdeepu: Thank you for your quick response. I have few more questions pertaining to the Part C of IMM 5532 itself.

I'll just give some background so that you can give your suggestion. Me and my wife knew each other since early teenage but never had any sort of relationship or any communication whatsoever. After we first met at pilgrimage, we became friends on facebook but still never spoke to each other. It was only after some years, that our parents met and decided of having an arranged marriage between us. So when the proposal came, I was already in Canada as a PR and she was in India. We first spoke on whatsapp and eventually the relationship grew and finally got married after one year.

Now, I have some confusion on answering some questions on Part C of IMM5532. Posting it below:

Part C Q.1 Describe the first time you met in person - We first met in our teenage at pilgrimage and were not introduced by anyone. However, it's only after few years when my spouse's parent proposed for arranged marriage and then we started talking to each other. So should is mention the first meet or the one that happened after the proposal from her parents?

Q.2 Did you have any contact before you met in person? - Again confused here. If in Q.1 I answer the first instance we met, then we didn't have contact before. But if I have to feed in second instance (arranged marriage one), then we spoke extensively on whatsapp before we met in person. What should be my response?

Q.3 Are you leaving together now?---You already answered. Thank you.

Q.4 If you are not living together, have you visited each other during your relationship? - I only visited during the time of marriage and we stayed together for around 3 months. Prior to that we only communicated through whatspp for whole one year. When the question says relationship, I understand that it's only after we started to talk to each other via whatsapp. So should my answer be YES to this question since I visited her and during that time we got married?

You are over-thinking this. Just tell the truth, and write a short letter of explanation with these points addressed. If it doesn't fit in the box, separate sheet of paper. If the first time you 'visited her' was for the actual marriage, honeymoon, etc., just write that.

In rough very short form (obviously I don't know details, fill in however corresponds to truth):

-First met in XX year at pilgrimage, but only as acquaintances. We were not introduced by anyone, we met in [context.]
-We were 'friends' on facebook but with no serious personal contact or direct communications during this intervening period.
-Our parents met [how did they know each other, were they introduced?] in XX year and discussion of arranged marriage began.
-After the proposal we were not able to meet in person but got to know each other over whatsapp etc. (More detail obviously, how often, other forms, just texts or calls, video, etc)
-Marriage came one year later. After marriage, I remained and we resided together [vacationed, whatever] for three months before I needed to return to Canada.

You'll have to figure out how to put these points corresponding to each of the questions, but it's really not complicated. Met is the first time you met, contact is any kind of contact (even if not in person), visiting includes periods when you met, married, etc., as long as actual physical visit.
