Hi,

I submitted my PR application under FSW on Dec 3 2016 and got AOR on Dec 4, 2016.

My marital status changed in Feb 2017 and updated CIC about the change via Case Specific Query in March. CIC responded last night and asked following additional documents. I have confusion with some of the requirements and have written it down in highlighted text. Would request seniors to please help and advise.

Updated Generic Application Form for Canada IMM 0008 for yourself and your spouse or CLP - [glow=red,2,300]Will there be two separate forms? one for me and one for my spouse. I feel it will be one form only because it contains details of both principal and spouse[/glow]
 Updated Additional Family Information Form IMM 5406 for yourself and your spouse or CLP - [glow=red,2,300]Again two separate forms?[/glow]
 A completed and signed by your spouse or CLP Schedule A Background/ Declaration IMM 5669
 Supplementary Information Your Travels form IMM5562 E for your spouse or CLP - Will there be two separate forms? one for me and one for my spouse.
 If applicable: A completed and signed IMM4509 Statutory Declaration of Common-law Union - [glow=red,2,300]I dont think this form is applicable to us as we got formally married recently as per our tradition and customs and did not have much contact before marriage[/glow]

6. Evidence of the relationship between you and your spouse, such as:
- Relationship photos (Wedding photographs depicting all the rituals of a traditional wedding,
wedding reception and post wedding photographs, commitment ceremony photos from outings
together trips, honeymoon, etc. (10–15 photos max) - Can provide all these thankfully
- If you are living together, evidence such as copy of bills, bank statements, lease agreement,
drivers licenses showing your names and address (10–15 pages max) - [glow=red,2,300][glow=red,2,300] Dont have any of these since we just got married and has not got these things changed yet[/glow]
[/glow]

I have been requested to provide all documents and information within 7 days from date of communication.

i got similar request on March 7 & 21. though my AOR was in late jan. but change occured in Feb. 2017

IMM5669 request was on march 7, i filled as 2 separate forms (one for me and the other for my spouse).
IMM 5562 request was on march 7, i filled it as a single form.
IMM008 request was on march 21, i filled it as a single form
IMM5406 request was on march 21 i filled as 2 separate forms , both merged in a single pdf file though.

As long as it is not a Common law relationship, the other form does not matter.

After receiving documents for addition of my spouse to the PR application, IRCC replied promptly (6 days after submission) and asked to submit additional proofs:

Proof of communication before marriage (they mentioned Facebook, emails etc.)
Proof of wedding announcement and copies of wedding cards
Flight details and hotel reservations for our honeymoon trip

My question is that we had talked on facebook chat, but my wife's name is different from her full name on Passport. Will that be an issue? We have a good chat history and exchanged of pictures as well but her nick name on FB is different that what we have submitted in the application.

Secondly, what other proofs I can submit as proof of wedding announcement other than formal invitation cards. Should I sent few emails I sent to my office colleagues for wedding invitation and some whatsapp chat with friends for invitation. Would that suffice ? An y more ideas



Thanks
