WARSAW TIMELINE-Join here !!

I'm in Canada now. In my opinion they need only the copy of my passport
...
3. In Canada, to the Case Processing Centre (CPC-O): Submitting your document(s) in Canada If you have a mailing address in Canada and if you and all the accompanying dependents on your application are currently in Canada and plan to be in Canada for at least three months, you may submit your passport(s) to the Case Processing Centre – Ottawa."[/I]

I understand this to mean that you need to send the passport if in Canada. I think in Canada they want to see the actual doc (I guess because if you are coming from abroad the CBSA officers will examine the passport at landing, and here they are doing landing by post basically so they want to physically see it).

But do check with IRCC if you can. Im not certain, the instructions aren't perfectly clear.

Just to be clear does my wife need all of these these as a PR to fly to Canada?

She was planning to carry
-Passport with visa
-COPR letter
-Birth certificate (russian)
-Marriage certificate (russian) - can add copy of the translation.
-Quarantine plan
-CSQ (quebec specific requirement)

She won't have a notarized translation of our marriage certificate or necessarily proof that I'm a Canadian citizen. I guess she could have a scan of my passport? Is that needed? I never head of those being necessary

Sounds like very well prepared. Not sure all of that is needed but not hard to bring paper.

But I would definitely say translation of marriage certificate (just in case), and photocopy of your passport.

Personally I don't think notarised copies but only guessing.

Exactly! I thought about it in the same way that they might need my original passport to confirm the landing etc.
Anyway... I will call IRCC.

Should be good, thank you! I'm guessing the COPR will come with some sort of checklist of what to bring to be sure.

This is a bit of a weird one but do spouses need to commit to staying apart in the quarantine plan?

My understanding is that the idea is that anyone living with the traveller arriving should also stay in isolation with them the whole time. But I'm not certain.

You have to show in your Quarantine Plan that you have enough space to stay separate and provide all necessities to your spouse.

I had a separate room and I explained to the health care officers (they will call her few times during quarantine) that my husband provided food, cosmetics etc. He didn't have to be quarantined with me.

We all know what Bynming is asking. If they want to fool around, they isolate.))

Preposterous!

All they asked for from my wife was her passport and copr, however every officer is different. Better safe than sorry.

That's for sure. She'll print out the essentials mentioned here and I'll make sure she has basically every document we've ever come across throughout this process on her phone, in case it comes to that.

Preposterous!

After several months apart, I take fooling around very seriously.

Not in a weird way or anything.

At least a little weird.
