The process of sponsoring my German wife

[ginsengsamurai]

Hello everyone! This has probably been asked thousands of times in the past, but considering the policies that are constantly updated, I rather get a 'current' answer than using an old one as a guide. So thank you for taking the time to help me here.

A little background info
I met my spouse online back in May 2010 and had an online romance since August 2010. In April 2012, I flew over to Germany to meet her. I went there with two of my friends. So both of them have met her as well. In September 2013, I flew back to Germany and we got married in the Schonberg town hall in front of her family, my best man, his father and the marriage officer. Our celebration was at the banquet hall of Schwartbuck which included about 45 of her family members from all over Germany. My best man was also our wedding photographer, so we had lots of photos of our wedding and at least two videos of the ceremony and celebration.

For the last nearly four years, we have a large collection of phone bills, emails, SMS, Whatsapp chat logs, Facebook conversations and VSee webcam video recordings. I also kept my travel stubs and such to show I have visited Germany, etc.

My wife lives in Kiel, Germany and I live in Richmond, B.C., Canada. I was born here and is currently living here. My wife is still in Kiel.

The question(s)
I cannot afford an immigration lawyer to do our application, but I may seek one out to review our documents. Until then, I have various forms my wife and I have to fill out and they are:

A1 - IMM5491E Document Checklist.pdf
A2 - IMM1344E Application to sponsor.pdf
A3 - IMM5481E Sponsorship Evaluation.pdf
A4 - IMM5409E Statutory Declaration of Common Law Union.pdf
A5 - IMM5540E Sponsor Questionnaire.pdf
B1 - IMM0008ENU_2D Generic Application Form for Canada.pdf
B2 - IMM0008DEPENU Additional Dependants Declaration.pdf
B3 - IMM5669E Schedula A Background Declaration.pdf
B4 - IMM5406E Additional Family Information.pdf
B5 - IMM5490E Sponsored Spouse Partner Questionnaire.pdf

*A# - Sponsorship forms
*B# - Immigration forms

Of all of these forms, do we need to fill out all of them or just some of them? Eg: Do we need to fill out Form B2 and B4?
