Build a proof of relationship album for spousal sponsorship
When you sponsor a spouse or partner for Canadian permanent residence, IRCC wants to see that your relationship is real. Photos are part of that. This builder puts your photos in order, adds a short caption under each one, and gives every event its own cover page with the names, the date, and the place. You end up with a clean PDF or Word file you can add to your application.
Which photos to include
Pick photos from across your time together, not one single day. Your engagement, a wedding or civil ceremony, trips, family gatherings, and ordinary days at home all help. Under each photo, say who is in it, where you were, and roughly when. Keep the caption short and honest.
How the album is organised
Each event becomes its own section with a cover page. The cover shows the applicant and sponsor names, the date, and the venue, so an officer can follow your story without guessing. Inside a section, your photos sit in a simple grid with their captions.
Your photos stay on your device
The album is built in your browser. Your photos are never uploaded to a server, so nothing leaves your computer or phone. When the album is ready, you download the file yourself.
Relationship proof album FAQ
How many photos should I include?
There is no single best number. Choose a clear selection that shows your relationship over time instead of adding many similar photos from one event. Make sure the file remains readable and stays within the upload limit for your IRCC portal or other recipient.
What should a photo caption say?
A short, factual caption is enough: who is pictured, the occasion, the city or venue, and an approximate date. Captions should help a reader understand the image, not make claims the photograph cannot show.
Can I include family and travel photos?
Yes. Family gatherings, celebrations, travel and ordinary shared activities can help provide context when they are genuine and accurately captioned. Include only material you are comfortable submitting as evidence.
Does this builder decide what IRCC will accept?
No. The builder only helps organise photos into a PDF or Word document. Review the current instructions for your application and choose evidence that truthfully supports your own situation.
Before you download or submit
Review your album before using it for office work, an immigration representative, the IRCC portal or another government website. Check photo order, names, dates, captions, readability and the file-size limit for the exact upload form. Keep the original photos and album so you can make changes later.
This is a document tool, not legal advice. Evidence rules change, so confirm the current requirements on canada.ca or with a licensed representative before you submit.
