give us enough time if they ask for something.

Some people worry they havn't sent in enough proof of the genuiness of their relationship, so they send in more evidence. I would suggest you wait. The visa officer may ask for more evidence; if not, the applicant can bring further evidence to the interview. Usually the evidence they ask for at the interview is further proof of contact - anything since the application was sent in, such as more phone bills, evidence of travel to visit the spouse, emails, more photos.

Im a PR..I really want to visit her and at the same time we can use that evidence and to take more pictures while visiting her.because all the pictures we've sent where taken here in canada. but the question is I am not sure enough if I am allowed to go out of canada because im only a PR holder.

You can go and visit. But most of the time the Visa Officer may ask you to be present in Canada ( or prove your presence in Canada by providing the tax return documents, electric or phone bills, credit card statements any thing like that ). I could understand from various dicussions that the sponsor used to visit the spouce while the PR application is in process.

As Canadianwomen mentioned, the additional documents required are up to the necessity determined while processing the application. However, you have to emphasis the need of proof of relation is it is not sufficiently established by the submitted evidences.

A visit to see your spouse is good evidence of a genuine relationship. Take lots of photos with her family and friends as well to prove the relationship is well-known. Keep all evidence of the trip - plane tickets, boarding passes, hotel and restaurant receipts, receipts for outings and gifts, lots of photos.
However, make sure it is just a visit. Don't stay for months, because then you might run into trouble with the visa officer claiming you have actually moved there.

You can visit for a month or even more if posible. Visa Officer is not going to trace every applicant's travels and movements all the time. She can also try for a TRV to visit you. But she should be back to submit the passport for visa stamping and also should be able to communicate with visa office in case the need any information.
