hello all,
I am trying to apply for my spouse (Indian citizen) and I am in Canada (Canadian citizen now). I have 2 questions if you can please advice
1. I am using WhatsApp chat also, how did you get it translated and what affidavit did you use ?
Hi, Since we submitted during the early covid19 time, we did the WhatsApp chat translation with the help of a friend and he signed an affidavit prepared by Notary Public. We also had an explanation letter saying why we can't find a professional translator service for our language, and expressed our willingness to provide one if requested later. ( far no additional request.. my time line is in signature)
Can i send messages in word format ? if i export the WhatsApp chat i have the option to edit so can i edit the messages by translating to English?
We did word format, but used screenshots of random times in chat and did the translation (side by side in chronological order)
2. How the biometrics are being done in India now ?
For Biometrics, VAC in India is reopening with limited services from 25th Nov. Once you receive you Biometrics Instruction Letter, you can go to the VAC website and schedule an appointment by sending a webform (
https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/can/covid-19-updates) Due to the covid19 they are only taking webform requests and no time and date selection guarantied. Then VAC will contact you with a scheduled date and time.
