hello, I am living with my thai partner and we are almost done with our application before we send it.

we have translated her birth certificate the right way(certified copy etc...)

some of our supporting documents like old bank statements(none for 2018) or old joint acc of credit card have some small part of the address in thai(rest of document is in english)...we used a translator accredited by a respected European embassy to translate those(canada has no translation service in thailand),the translator has stamped her credential etc.. on the translation page,thats as much as we got.

every other supporting docs are in english.

do you think canada will accept those translations?

there is no way in thailand to get the real certified translation thing for things other than official thai gov documents.

the canadian embassy is of no help...

thank you for your help.

anyone else?
Have patience instead of repeatedly bumping your thread. People advise on here for free in their own time, so answers are not always immediate.

You were not required to formally translate unofficial documents like bank statements, so there will be no issue.

Yes, it is stressful and there are definitely things that IRCC could be much clearer about.

what about the
Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union IMM 5409

since we are applying from thailand, it is my understanding that our application will be process by
Singapore,should we file it before applying even though it isnt mandatory ? is Singapore famous for requesting this document?

and if we need to file it, what is the process at the embassy ?do we need to bring proofs of our common in law relationship to the person before she will stamp the declaration?

thank you all for answers.

It is not a required document.
