Hi, i am German, 19 yrs old, and my wife, 19 years old, and me are just about to submit our Sponsorship form.

We have been dating for 3 years and recently got married 3 Months ago, now our marriage certificate arrived which is the last thing we have been waiting for. We've met only once before we got married, i was staying at her house for 6 weeks.

We submitted: 10 Pictures from our wedding, 5 from our honeymoon, 10 from trips to la ronde and ottawa.
We submitted her phone bill which states how often i called her and how often she called me. we have an average of 8000 texts per month, so we picked one day for each month of the last year and printed off how often we texted and how many phone calls we had. weve submitted a screenshot of skype calls between us in the last year.
We've submitted 4 letters i wrote to her, and 3 letter she wrote to me. We also added a bank statement that shows that we've made a joint bank account even a year BEFORE we got married, the booking confirmation for my flight to canada last time i visited her, and eventually a copy of each others will, which is beneficial towards the other.

Will that be enough of proof? Oh yeah, we are doing an Inland sponsorship.

Your proof looks pretty good given your situation.

Any reason why you chose inland sponsorship? outland is usually faster for visa-exempt nationals and and you can still visit your spouse in Canada while on outland.

But even with outland, you can stay in Canada as a visitor until your application is done. German citizens can stay up to 6 months visa-free and while you are in Canada, you can file for an extension without leaving. Many people applying outland do this.

In my situation all my pictures from the past was destory from my previous phone (we have been together since 2011) but we only submitted pics from 2013 - to current. I sent a letter explaining why we didnt have pictures from the past and hoping this will be ok - all together we sent in over 60 pictures.

what do you think ????

60 pictures is a solid amount and 2013-2015 is still 2 years worth so that is still good. The only issue would be if you lost all your wedding photos or some major event that CIC likes to see.

Copies of personal letters are great proof.

Other things you might include are photos of/receipts for any special gifts with a good description of what it is and why you bought it. Basically, anything you have of sentimental value is great proof beyond all the "straightforward" evidence.
