To add: We numbered our photos, and in the relationship timeline we would link certain events to the photos (for example birthdays, camping trips, friend's weddings, and so on) . That way, we basically integrated the photographs and the timeline together. The photographs also shows progression...

My apologies for the late response, I am so busy these days I don't check the forum very often. Our timeline started from 2012 when we met at the university. So for example I would have the month and the year, and then I also added trips and special events together over the past 7 years, with...

Hi, glad I could help! I printed on the one side only, with the back blank.

It's not invasion of privacy, by applying for a spousal visa the officer should have proof that you are a real couple and not committing visa fraud. Besides, you have a choice of which chats you want to send as your proof. Invasion of privacy would have been if they requested you to provide them...

Hi there, from my understanding when we did our visa app, you only need chats, posts, texts etc. certified IF they were not in English and therefore had to be translated. If that is the case, they need to be translated and notarized according to my understanding.That being said, we only added...

Hi. Canadian citizen. PR cannot sponsor outside of Canada, that is correct.

Hi, Id be happy to assist you if you have any specific questions. You can PM me. I did provide most of my details on the first page, but if you need more info please do not hesitate to ask.

Hi, you are most welcome. Some might say that I did too much or that I unnecessarily sent in too much information, but the fact that my case took 3 months to process while others at the same visa office waited 6 months and longer tells me that it pays off to put in the effort. I have been here...

The interview would be held in the country where the applicant currently is - IF there is an interview requested. So if they want to interview your spouse, it would be in Angola. If they want to interview you, it would be the VO where you are. That is how it is according to my knowledge. They...

Hi. To give you an idea - We applied in September 2018. AOR received in December 2019. After that it went very quick, received my COPR about 3 months later I think. From my experience, the Pretoria VO was quick and always responded timely when I e-mailed them questions during my application.

Sponsor does not require a police certificate. We only sent one for applicant and all was good.

You are entitled to your opinion of course, but in my case it actually helped to be thorough and detailed. My application took 3 months, and others who have followed the same path had quick processing times too. Then again, there are people with 10-pager applications who also get processed...

Hi. Headings are completely up to you. I had a financial proof heading but that was it. Under that heading, I had bank statements, asset valuation, current income and anything I could think of that is relevant to the application. As for the photos, yes, I left them in the small envelope and...

Awesome to know. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me!

I must also add that I am a very analytical person and I enjoyed writing reports and research papers while in university. As a result, I enjoyed creating the cover letter and I treated my application the same as I would treat my work projects as a management consultant. I guess it is just...

Hi. Sorry for the delay, have been busy this side. I used a cover letter just to give a short background on our "story", our reason for applying and also to briefly explain the different sections in our proof and why we chose to use the specific forms of proof. Is it necessary? I am sure it is...

Hi there, glad I could help. To answer your questions: 1. Yes, fill it in. You simply need to provide their detail, some worry that you have to do medicals and police clearance for your family members too, but you don't. Simply fill in their detail, since you might want to sponsor them in the...

Hi, please check your inbox :)

I agree with this. Calling CIC won't help them in any way. Anybody who is anybody cannot just decide to phone CIC and talk smack about applicants. If they wanted to do something, they would have to actually try to get the visa officer's info (which will not be provided to him/her anyway)...

The support letters were not part of my 10 pages. I gave the letters separately as their own section. Just make sure, but when we applied the 10 pages was only proof of communication between applicant and sponsor. The letters from your friends and families are not part of the 10 page limit. Not...
