Will conversations on Facebook i had with my wife's friends, and family be considered as evidence of our relationship ? Also, can comments on my wall on facebook from my wife's family, friends and my as well about our wedding, vacations, our child, etc be also considered as good proof ? If that's the case, what would be the best way to print those comments and conversations ? Thank you in advance..

shouldn't living together with your wife be enough for inland? just asking... how ridiculous do they need to get for proof? I can see if spouse's are outland and living apart, but if you are married and living together, you are obviously having face to face conversations all day and every day

just wondering, I didn't bother with emails or texts (and my wife doesn't even use facebook)

Living together, and even children aren't proof of a genuine relationship. It's just an overall combination of factors they look at, and of course each situation is different.

Emails and texts aren't required, and obviously most people who live together aren't emailing each other all the time. You need to show some proof aside from just living together though.

We are doing the outland application but I use screenshots of our Facebook posts as supporting documents. The first time we became facebook friends, pictures of our trips, engagement and weddings and comments from friends on those picture

interesting, so you are saying that a couple could get married, live together, have kids, and CIC is still going to say they aren't a genuine relationship? this just seems insane

No, I'm saying the onus is on the applicants to prove their marriage is genuine.

Sometimes the decisions are inexplicable. My favourite case is that of an Afghani couple married for 20 years with 5 children. The husband was also a Canadian. The wife was pregnant with their 6th child at the interview, but her visa was denied because the visa officer felt their marriage was not genuine.
