20 photos and love story

A long letter is NOT evidence. You need to provide real evidence if IRCC is already asking for additional prove.
As I recall from your other thread, you dated and possibly lived together for several years, AND have a child together.

I repeat the point from that other thread: you seem to find this letter a big deal and are almost certainly overdoing it. Again without knowing all the details, all I can say is you likely need NO letter at all, or at most only a short one (less than one page), and your basic evidence - modest amounts - is almost certainly enough.
I repeat the point, again, that others have made as well as I can: your long letter is more likely to make things WORSE. Stop, breath, and don't overdo it. Provide only what they ask for. You are overthinking this. Save your fifteen page letter for scrapbooks or as something for your kid to laugh at 20 years from now.
Even your spouse's visa refusal is not a major issue, many couples have this. Disclose the refusal and the reasons given by IRCC, and that's it.
I only knew my wife for 8 months, when we married on my second trip to ever see her. I was only divorced for 3 months from my previous marriage when we married. My application was successful in only 6 months start to finish, no interview even when IRCC estimate said 24 months at the time. This is what I provided as proof of our relationship.
1. 20 pictures in a single PDF with a description for each.
2. 1/2-page letter from myself and 1/2-page from my wife with a brief description of our relationship.
3. Phone and text logs.
4. 2 letters from my family and 2 letters from wife's family in support of our relationship. Very short letters. Just a few sentences each.
5. Trip receipts, Wedding receipts etc…
6. Proof of support.
And just the other basic requirements they ask for.
We also provided a letter of explanation for two questions. My wife had no idea of her parent's birth or death dates, The other was to explain why I was divorced and remarried in a 3-month period.
Provide strong evidence, stick to relevant facts. Do not write a boring novel. More than two pages is a boring novel.

Nice try, hiding the link to whatever it is in text you added to the quote, you hideous spammer.
Get in the sea, spammer.
The application process says provide up to 20 images and a separate document that describes each photo.
I sent photocopies of letters exchanged (proper written ones which were actually posted), as well as extracts from social media conversations at significant times in the relationship - basically showing the date of first communication and latest, so that they can see how long you've actually been together. Obviously include wedding/marriage photos, also social or special occasion photos (such as Christmas, birthday celebrations or whatever) involving family members or friends. It's just to prove the relationship is genuine (and acknowledged by others), but you don't need to give a blow by blow account of everything. On one of the forms you submit you have to state when and how you met anyway, so that's sufficient. There's also space in the form to add further details supporting your application, so in that bit you can give a bit more detail about the relationship if you want.
Hello, so the requirement says pictures separate than the label's doc. I feel like it is complex to even read a separate doc with labels and correspond to pictures in a separate doc. How did you do it?
Number the pictures, fill the details next to the corresponding number....not that complex.
use word, make a table with two columns. Pictures to the left, details to the right. Save as a pdf when done.
simple as that. Don’t go crazy 20-30 pictures max
