Hi All,
Just thought of posting a thread about supporting documents I submitted for sponsoring my wife. Hope it will help someone in this forum.
My wife is in India and she is the only applicant (no dependents)
Supporting documents – Sponsor
1. Photocopy of PR Card
2. Employment verification:
a. Original letter from employer
b. Latest Notice of assessment from CRA
Supporting documents – Principal applicant
1. Copy of passport
2. Birth Certificate, Baptism certificate, SSLC certificate and Aadhar card (Government issued ID card)
3. Copy of national identity card – Aadhar card
4. Copy of marriage certificate
5. Two recent photos – I enclosed them in an envelope ( I have written the title on the envelope)
6. Twenty Photos of wedding ceremony and outings – I enclosed them in an envelope (I have written the title on the envelope)
7. Copies of national identity document (Aadhar card) for sponsor and principal applicant showing same address
8. Documentary proof for funds transferred from sponsor to principal applicant (for showing financial support)
a. Receipt from Remitly Canada
9. Proof that our relationship is acknowledged by friends and family
a. Screenshot of Facebook relationship status change of sponsor showing that he married principal applicant
b. Screenshot of Facebook home page of sponsor showing photos of sponsor and principal applicant
c. Screenshot of Facebook post by Mr. XXXXX, who is a close friend of sponsor
d. Screenshot of Facebook post by Miss. XXXXX who is a close friend of principal applicant
e. Original invitation card for engagement function
f. Original invitation letter for wedding function
10. Screenshots of WhatsApp chats between sponsor and PA. These screenshots are taken from sponsor’s mobile phone.
11. Proof of sponsors visit
a. Boarding passes and electronic tickets for flights to India and return to Canada
b. Photocopies of passport showing exit entry stamps to India for the above mentioned travels
12. Details of honeymoon trip
a. Reservations made for honeymoon trips
b. Bus tickets for our honeymoon trip
And one thing regarding birth certificate of PA. She was born abroad and the birth certificate was issued by the Indian embassy over there. I have seen lot of questions in this forum about the validity of birth certificates issued by foreign embassies. But there is nothing to worry about it, at least its proved in my case.
Good luck every one
