Immigration may or may or may not ask but at check in counter at the airport here in Canada they may ask before allowing you to check in to board the flight

Are you asking regarding attestation or registration of the marriage certificate?
Registered marriage certificates are issued by provinces (if you got married in ON e.g.) and states/local registrar /authority if you got married in India/International
If your marriage certificate is issued by an authority like mentioned above you should be good to include a copy of it and self attest it.

and remember today its Valentines Day today, dont forget to surprise Mrs JackMa otherwsie it will be Ooooee Ma ;)

Reactions: CABA
Yes you are right, mine is 23dec and still under process

Same here, in my case its 13th Dec and still "UNDER process" status., I did dropped a note to CGI vancouver where they confirmed that minimum duration for processing an application is 3 months now, can extend at times due to volume.

Three months from date of acknowledgment? Or overall I mean from the time they received etc ?

For CGI date of acknowledgment is received date and if they saying 3 months its from acknowledgment date.
If BLS says 3 months it from application received date.
