Hi everyone,
The "country specific requirements" for Korea include two things: Family Relation Certificate and Marriage Relation Certificate. We (I'm Canadian and wife is Korean) were married recently in Canada and will be sending an inland spousal sponsorship application soon. In our case do we need a (photocopy of a) Korean marriage certificate? The problem is that we don't have this document at all. We haven't been to Korea since the wedding. We were planning another ceremony in Korea, including registering the marriage there, much later - after the PR, when we can safely travel.
Unfortunately we don't have much time now because she is on a Working Holiday and as far as I know it can't be extended in any way.
If it turns out that it is required, but we don't provide it with the initial application due to time constraints, will they reject the application, or will they give us a chance to send it in later? If the latter, that would be OK - as long as we don't have to travel to Korea personally to obtain the certificate. I don't mind a small delay in the application. It's far better than her getting kicked out of the country...
Thanks in advance. This forum has been a great resource. I've probably sifted through hundreds of pages here already. Many questions of mine have already been answered, but a few remain.
