I am filling out the forms for spousal sponsorship and would appreciate your help with the following questions in Sponsor Evaluation Form:

3. Are you living together now? - I answered 'no' since I have come back to Canada after our wedding and we are not currently living together. In the explanation section, I have mentioned that we lived together for 2 weeks at my parent's house. I am guessing I have got this one right. Please correct.
4. If you are not living together, have you visited each other during your relationship? - This sounds bit confusing as I am not able to understand whether the question is asking about our visits before the wedding or after the wedding.
  • We never flew to visit each other. We met for the first time two weeks before our wedding and that was the only time I flew to my home country to get married. Should I be mentioning about all the visits before the wedding?
11. Is there more information you wish to share to support your relationship?
  • Can you share from your experience what information should be provided to support our relationship?

#3 Are you living in Canada? If yes then your answer should be "NO". #4 have you visited her on occasion long before the wedding, before proposal, during boyfriend & girlfriend? Try to mention all the dates you went back and met with your wife before the engagement/proposal, etc. ( they're trying to see if you have a legitimate relationship) yes they do accept "Arranged Marriages" but that's another story. #11 try to explain how you guys met, when, where, how? if arrange marriage, then mention it on this section as well, what was the experience, (write a love story about you and your wife, the journey of your relationship) places you guys visited, first meeting, what do you guys use to call/contact each other (facetime, whatsapp, etc) what did you feel? dates, monthsary's, etc etc. this is where you have to be truthful because they might use the story during an interview.

Overall if you've only seen each other for two weeks prior to your wedding, I'm guessing it's an arranged marriage. My advice is to really convince them on your explanation (love story) Goodluck to you guys!

This pretty much covers the questions u asked. Just adding onto it, if u have met her first time right before the wedding, u specify the day she landed, purpose would be to get married, if u stayed together at the same location, u would say yes and where would be the location. For the place where you have to explain no to why you are not living together, you can specify that you have a job in Canada (or other plausible reason as to why you had to return) and specify who u live with currently, (eg u live with ur parents, ur spouse live with theirs)

For more information you wish to share question, like the post above suggested write down everything you think can show a genuine relationship. If u guys met before multiple times write down what u guys did (eg trips, family outings etc & add proof of that in the pics they ask you to provide). Same with time spent together after marriage (again travelling and important celebrations) and provide those pics so they know your claims are truthful. And if urs is an arranged marriage, explain in detail how your families got in contact, why you guys were found as a compatible match, what you liked about your spouse that made you want to marry them etc. Hope this helps!

This is the reason I am getting confused on this question. Since it is an arranged marriage, I saw her for the first time two weeks prior to our wedding. We never met before in person before that but only saw each other via WhatsApp video calls.
