Hi, my husband and I are preparing his application for PR, and I was wondering... I was thinking that I (the sponsor) would write a letter to explain more about our relationship, how much I love him, plans we have for the future, etc. as support for his application, since so much isn't included in the forms. Did anyone else do that? Do you think it will help our application?
Thanks.

Yes, we did!. Especially since we had a very intimate wedding ceremony in Vegas and there was no reception. We invited only 1 person to serve as our witness, a close relative of my wife (many people wanted to attend -including my parents- but we decided to postpone the religious wedding and reception for after I get my PR and to be held in my home country). My wife wrote a very detailed letter to CIC in our application telling our love story. We believe this made a difference and the result was First Stage of Approval without the need of an interview.

When my husband wrote his version of the development of our relationship, I also wrote mine. I thought giving two perspectives on the same information might make it clearer for them. I think it gave our application a little more personal detail and let them know how we truly feel about each other.

CIC wants both of you to write such a letter.
At the end of the 'Sponsor Questionnaire' IMM 5540 there is this request: "On a separate sheet of paper, provide any additional details of your current relationship that you believe would help to prove your relationship is genuine and continuing."
There is the same request at the end of the 'Sponsored Spouse/Partner Questionnaire' IMM 5490.
