Spouse Questionnaire IMM5490

If you want to elaborate how your relationship developed it would be just fine.. but a clear and brief explanation is better since it is already obvious that for the past 4 and a half years your relationship evolved and grew into a one happy family. HAKUNA MATATA. 

Javcil: I have typed mine on the computer and printed them, then added extra sheets of paper to continue on from the questions. would you write things like a change of Job for my husband that had an impact on our relationship (as only he is able to work) to demonstrate difficulties we have over come etc? And how involved he was during my pregnancy/birth of our daughter and daily upbringing of our daughter to demonstrate that we are a happy loving family etc? would these be the kinds of thing CIC would want to know?  I don't want to write too much and bore them so much they wouldnt read it properly! 

Ask yourself what, if anything, the IO may find suspicious about your status as a couple.  Then, write your answer to describe the development of your relationship in a way that answers the kinds of questions an IO may have.  In our case, we thought an IO would want to be assured that my wife didn't marry me to get into Canada.  So we emphasized several key points, including the quality of her lifestyle in her home country, her decision to decline 2 previous opportunities to emigrate to other developed countries, how well her family and close friends know and accept me, and the extent of our devotion to each other. Basically, ask yourself what are the likely questions that would exist in an IOs mind about you as a couple, and let your story tell them whatever is needed to offset their concerns.

PS: I also gave reasons we wanted to live in Canada vs. Turkey: ie, I can't work in my current occupation in Turkey, as they don't hire foreign nurses, I don't speak Turkish really well, and my children still need me here in Canada (at least for a few more years).

I doubt it, 10 years is what I find to be about average in most cases, and it it more common for the male to be older. Besides, your case is as solid as anyones :)
