Check with file number using the information of the sponsored person and you will see the sponsored person's address as well as the date of file transfer. It is possible that the sponsored person's address is not there meaning they have opened your file to make notes etc.

Your File number must start with F and have nine digits. Use the information of the sponsored person to log in, make sure all your keyboard keys are working and you have the correct information that you are entering.

If you use the client ID number, you should enter sponsors information to log in. If you still can't log in then I guess you should call CIC and them about this issue.

Dear friends,

I am in process of finalizing the packet for sponsoring my wife (Islamabad). I had a few basic questions. Your help would be greatly appreciated:

1) I have obtained the municipal certificate (equivalent of birth certificate) for both my wife and myself. The requirement for certified translation is that there should be an affidavit by the translator and then attested by notary public. However, in my case, the affidavit has been written by the notary public i.e. not by the translator. Would this work or should I get it redone?

2) Is there a rule that no metals are to be included in the packet? Does that mean I can't staple any of the documents in the packet either?

3) The Pakistan specific form asks for my wife's File Number. I need to leave that blank given I don't get a file number until sending application to CHC Missassauga. Correct?

Would appreciate your help, especially of the experienced seniors who have been helping everybody so kindly.

Warm regards,

YES
I had to get my nikkah naama translated into english by a lawyer and he also notrized it too and was acceptable. but it was not the birth certificate so I could only say about what I went through was not rejected.
about the 2nd question, yes you should not include any metal not even staple or pin at all, as they might have to call a speciall ----- sqaud to open your package. so please stay away from metallic items.
3rd question, According to my knowledge is the same as you had jot down that the file number can be only obtain after applying and first of all mississauga office issues the client id number and then chc islamabad issues the file number.
I hope this would help.

I had a metal binder clip in my documents. It was was not a problem. I don't think that it will cause any problem. Also you submit these docs in Canada. CHC-M will forward these paper to ISB.
Any way it is up to u to decide .don't send if you dont feel comfortable.

A big thank you to Sabii , i.Solo, and Impulsive for your help! I think I will use plastic paper clips. Hopefully that should do the trick.

Dear Friends -- here's another question on which I wanted your kind perspective.

How did you guys structure the application packet that you sent to Missassauga? I am thinking of having 4 portions: 1) Sponsor's forms, 2) Applicant's forms, 3) Required documents e.g. medical, police clearance certificates, birth certificates, educational documents etc and lastly 4) Proofs e.g. pictures, phone bills, e-mails, supplementary credit card, joint back accounts etc. Any tips and tricks / general advice when structuring the packet?

Best regards,
