I have one question on the marriage certificate..

My wife is a PR and all her family members got settled in Canada..

Our marriage was a typical Roman catholic wedding and we received our marriage certificate from the parish priest with witnesses name and both our parents name on it, to be precise a typical catholic church marriage certificate ( extract from the book of marriages in the church )

Both her father and mother came down to India with her to attend the wedding and all our family members attended our wedding ceremony and blessed our wedding... I have submitted all the wedding ceremony photos and also the reception photos while filing..

The question I have is, we submitted only the church marriage certificate with the supporting ceremony photos as a proof of our wedding...
is that certificate enough ? will that be considered as a marriage certificate or will the CIC ask for any other documents to prove our marriage
We have also given our outing photos, phone bills, photos we took during our family outings...

seniors please share ur thoughts...

Have you looked at some volunteer work? It might be good way to kill time. Besides when it comes to the time when you are able to work, it would be easy to find a job if you have Canadian experience. Although you seem to come from "privileged" country, it probably won't hurt your resume! I've been sending my resumes but no responses :( ???. I'm stressed out not getting a job and stressed out our status not changing :(.
Unfortunately, his parents live in the middle of nowhere - 40 mins away from civilization :(

Hi Rahul,

you traveled from India to Canada and got the marriage certificate given by the church in Canada and later filed your application.. right?
