That looks like a great list to me, it sounds like it'll be convincing enough! Do any other members have suggestions?

Yeah, I would say you are more than OK. ;D

We sent maybe 20 pictures, email/skype logs, a couple of letters from relatives, plain tickets, bank accounts and our relationship was not questioned.

Could you please tell me what do relatives write in these kind of letters? Also, what kind of relatives? (btw, a very funny nickname you have...I suspect I know what your native language is :))

Haha, well yep, I also thought my nickname could be a nice plate for a car with some beefy V8. ;D
They basically wrote what they know about my wife, their impression with her and how they feel regarding our marriage (my parents and grandmother). I also wrote my own letter about 2 pages long.

Does anyone know if the proof of relationship is evaluated before or after sponsorship evaluation? Basically if you get SA does that mean you won't be called in for an interview or does that get decided at the VO?

That all happens after, SA is just sponsorship approval where they don't even look at the applicant yet.

Gemini020, what kind of proves did you attach to show that you will return to Canada once your spouse gets PR?
After reading the forum, I am contemplating whether I should wait until I am back to Canada or apply from outside.

We haven't send in our application yet. We'll have prove he lived with me for over 2 years, his PR here as my boyfriend and mainly lots of pictures and plane tickets, we've travelled together for about 6 months (one 3month trip). I have prove of him coming on a family 4week holiday and attending lots of family events. I also have some things proving my connection to his family and a picture of our parents meeting. We'll have some letters from our family and friends too.
Depends on what you want. For me not being able to travel outside of Canada is just not an option

OH, sorry. must have misunderstood.
I am the sponsor and I currently live outside Canada. But I can't really submit any proof that I will be back to Canada once my spouse's immigration is approved.
So I wonder if we should apply AFTER i am back to Canada (which will only be in 2017 :() or I should apply now.
So my situation is - Canadian citizen living overseas.

You are Canadian citizen you can sponsor your spouse

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp

If you are a Canadian citizen, you may sponsor a spouse, a common-law partner or conjugal partner, or a dependent child who has no children of his or her own. However, you must demonstrate that you will live in Canada when the sponsored person becomes a permanent resident.
