Same- sex marriage ( Canadian- Foreigner )

[Namo]

Hi,
I wonder what type of docs do I need to collect in order to apply for PR after marrying a Canadian citizen. Currently, we live together in Canada. I am an international full-time student ( 2 years)
Do we need to create a bank account, prove that we live together and so on? How long do we live together before I can apply for PR ( after marriage)
How it really works?
Thanks

You should have as many joint products and services as you are comfortable with. Now that you are married, you do not need to live together for a certain amount of time, first, as that's just for common-law applicants.

Thanks a lot!
What usually ppl provide in order to prove that they live(ed) together? If it has to be 1 year do we have to show previous rent contracts?
If I live in my spouse's house ( since Sept 2017) how can I prove that I lived there since then?
How soon can I apply for PR after we get married?
Thank you for your time

Here's a rough idea of what you need to submit: https://www.immigroup.com/news/family-sponsorship-application-document-checklist

As for proving you lived together, if you don't have any bills with your address on them from back in September, you could get some affidavits together, from people who know you, attesting you lived there.

You can apply for PR the moment you are married.
