Hi All,

putting our final package together, and getting in all our documents

on the checklist in multiple places, I believe that photocopies of all documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc) are fine.

However, what I wanted to know, was do I need to copy both the front and pack of these pages? Birth certificate for example I believe has some text on the back.

Also, two other questions:

1. For my birth certificate (Im the Canadian sponsror) - I only included what we would likely now refer to as the short form certificate (Im from Ontario) as that is all i have - will that be sufficient? My passport is now expired, otherwise I would have included that.

2. For the principal applicant, my wife from USA, it asks for proof of status in Canada. We have a visitor record that goes until January 31, 2018 (we are also applying for OWP, so I believe she will have implied status after that) - will that be sufficient as proof of her status?

Thanks!
