Dear members,

My spouse's paternal uncle is a citizen of Canada and lives there. What should we provide as proof of relationship? I doubt that her father and uncle have their birth certificates with them.

Thanks!

Thanks! Can I provide my spouse's father and uncle's school certificate to show their common father? And what can I provide to prove relationship of my spouse with her father? Her passport mentions my name as husband, but her education documents show her father's name, although of course they would be uploaded in a different placeholder. Do I need to add a LoE for this?
