I will be applying as a spouse using the New application package arrived this month.
My wife stays in Canada and i reside in another country.

For Proof of Genuine relationship,

1. Me and my spouse do not have financial transactions. Is it ok if my wife transfers some money from Canada to my bank account and i display this as a proof ?
2. I am planning to get an insurance policy for myself and add my spouse as a Nominee (since our govt does not have any combined policy). Will that work ? Can it be considered as a proof for insurance policy or insurance benefit ?
3. What are employment benefits ? My company offers healthcare policy to my spouse as once i add her as my dependant. Is this considered as employee benefit ?
4. It takes quite long time to get spouse enrolled for healthcare policy. I also have a plan to get a letter (on company letter head) from company HR stating that my wife would be covered by my company. Will that count ?

Any answer or discussions will really encourage our spirit or atleast give us a better understanding of what can be done as a next step.

Send all that you have and let CIC decide what matters.

Thats a cool answer ;D I need to send proper data and proofs to CIC in order to avoid any delay in processing.

The CIC have mentioned this in the checklist eg Insurance benefit...
Just wanted to make sure from your experience whether this would be valid.

Anyways thanks for the reply :)

I was being honest. Trying to decide what to send can drive you crazy. CIC will pick through as they know what they are looking for. Just done send 100's of pages.

When we were preparing our application package I had prepared a few things to send as proof of relationship, but the more I read the forums the more I realized, more is better, especially because the PA in our case is from a non visa-exempt country, so we had to make sure our application was solid.

In the end I realized that no matter how small, any evidence of a genuine relationship is better than nothing and the more thought I put into it the more ideas I came up with.

rockycool's response is spot on.
