Hello experts/all, I am looking to sponsor my wife for inland PR. We have been married for less than a year. I have a query related to point# 7 of IMM 5533 Document Checklist - Spouse
7.Proof of Relationship to Sponsor- Here it asks for address proofs if myself and my spouse are living together in Canada and asks for atleast 2 set of documents. I do have a
rental agreement that shows both my and my wife's name. So one document is done. Apart from that I am not sure what all I can put and select atleast 2 checkbox. I have below options:
>
Joint utility account - We have Toronto Hydro utility account and I did get her listed as joint account but Toronto Hydro prints only one name on the bill. Can I use the screenshot from Toronto Hydro online account where it mentions my wife's name as secondary account holder? As they ask for a bill with joint names, is it ok if I select this checkbox and attach screenshot document?
>
Govt. issued documents - Application asks for govt. issued document on both sponsor and principal applicant names. We do have my wife's (principal applicant's) photo resident card but no such document for me (the sponsor).
Is it mandatory that I apply and get the Driving License or photo resident card for myself before we submit the application?
As we dont have any govt. issue document with address, I can not select this checkbox for attaching document.
>
Other documents issued to sponsor or principal applicant with same address: we have several options here that we can submit:
#Internet on PA (wife's name)
#Photo resident card of PA
#Credit card on sponsor name
#Bank statement on sponsor name
#Tenant Insurance on sponsor name
#Hydro bill with sponsor name on bill (wife/PA name on detailed account screenshot)
#Visitor insurance receipts for Sponsor
#Visitor insurance receipt for PA
Is it fine if I submit these documents and select this other documents checkbox?
Please advise is it ok to select only 2 checkboxes (
Rental Agreement and
Other documents) and go ahead with application. Or suggest an alternate if I can do anything else to help strengthen my application considering our marriage is just 9 months old and we recently arrived in September.
Additional thing concerning me is that, I dont have a CRA notice of assessment and have only one salary slip as my employer pays monthly salary here and I have not yet completed 2 months. I am attaching letter of explanation and also employer letter stating my annual salary but still it concerns me.
Apologies for long query, kindly help with your experience and suggestions.
