Only send origionals if you're not fussed about getting it back - they don't always return documents. Otherwise i'd send copies unles requested to do otherwise :)
And i believe only the person being sponsored needs to do the medicals

No way never send any Original certificate.
they will not responsible for return back Ur original papers.
u have to send originals only all forms, photos, medical and PCC.
Originals is requaired when they will call him for interview and will be ask that he have to bring originals stuff with him only then. other wise just attach copys

and Ur husband must be go for medical and send them that original copy.

Just be sure the checklist doesn't say to send the original. If it doesn't, send the copy :)

as mentioned, many processing offices require originals... if it doesn't specifically say copy in the country specific checklist for your office, i'd send the original... quite often where it doesn't say original or copy, they will request the original anyways, so you could be saving yourself a step... we did this and were thru much faster than the 30% timeline quoted for our office... unlike what was said above, all originals and every other paper we sent them was returned to us... we put in ticket stubs from attractions we had gone to together, and even they were returned... i have heard of them loosing items, so if you can get duplicate copies of originals (if you are ordering them anyways) it might be a good idea...

as far as the medicals, who is sponsoring whom? if your husband is the sponsor and you are the applicant, only you (and your dependants, if any) need to get medicals... if you are the sponsor, only your husband (and dependants, if any) need to get medicals...

make sure the medicals are done at Designated Medical Practioners

hope that helps
