I am not sure , if It is relevant for this topic or not, but I applied for immigration through Canadian embassy Islamabad on Aug 21, 2008, and on 20 March 2009 , I got a letter from Islamabad embassy that I have to submit documents within 120 days. The letter gives us following documents check list,
1) 4 passport size photographs
2) photocopies of First 4 pages of passport
3) All the Forms (off course)
4) original employment certificate
5) Proof of relationship if someone in Canada
6) Copies of education documents (it does not ask anything like original)
7) Valid PCC
8) English language test results
Since I have received this list directly from ISB high commission, I am hopping it is accurate, and we should not need original documents to be submitted, unless rules are change for Final Visa.
Any thoughts ...
