Salam Guys & Gals,

Thanks waiting001 and ch.immigration for your response to earlier question.

I have one more question regarding the application process. When will CIC return the orignal educational documents ?

Will they return the documents after stage 1 or will they keep them by the end of the application process?

Waiting for your responses....
Recently [reported by 2013 applicants mostly] they are sending back originals after 1st stage. I don't know about others but personally the only original document an applicant might need during the process will be there education docs. But one can always get some copies made and notarized before submitting the application.
Why do you ask ?

Thanks for your response . My wife would be needing her educational documents as she is planning to get registered for few courses/examinations.
Feedback from other members would also be appreciated.

Also one more question if others can shed light on it. I have heard that the processing of spousal sponsorship application files are more faster for Canadian citizens than permanent residents? Is it true?

By getting them notarized by a lawyer that they are originals would be the best way but make sure he is one who has the official notarized stamp.

can a local magistrate do that too??
what does he has to write on it???
“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”,
write the name of original document for example if it is cnic write cnic if it is a passport write passport.
date of certification.
magistrate name.
his official title.
his signature.???

Yes to all your questions. What they normally do is make a photo copy of the originals and attest its truth sign and stamp it with their seal. I hope this helps In Sha Allah. But you can always call the call centre in Canada to verify all this to make sure. CIC call centre 1-888-242-2100.

Alhumdolliah received nikkah naama, wife's birth certificate, and education documents in the mail today from Ottawa. I've been reading back trying to figure out what this means, but I guess all it means is that they're working on my file as they have been for the last year :p

Your process is done, fretting and getting disappointed will not help you or your significant other. Happy thoughts from this point onward.
