You might attach a note with a translation of the Hindi bits. I suppose it depends partly on how much Hindi there is. Copies are definitely okay. I wouldn't send the originals because you may or may not get them back.sourblush said:
Definitely worth doing. Obviously, you're not going to send the actual gifts.
You can black out the embarrassing bits, but you'll haveto explain why you did that. I've heard of other people doing that. Maybe you should just leave them in though. I've heard that people get asked (especially in interviews in India) intimate/sexual questions in interviews, so it might be less embarrassing to just send them in the letters and emails that to asnwer those questions in person. Anyway, blacking out embarrassing bits might be appropriate.

ok, i think i will attach a translation of the hindi bits with a signed letter by me swearing that the translation is correct.
okay..i think we will just leave them as they are.. but i hope they don't harass my husband regarding that when he does go in for the interview?
Well, it seems that they sometimes ask for details: canadianwoman said: "The visa officer who interviewed my husband in Ghana also asked him questions about sex. She wanted to know all about the first time - where, when, how, who made the first move, etc." and boyee6576's husband was asked similar questions in India. (Read some of this: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/do-they-extend-medicals-t48104.0.html;msg365988#msg365988) I hope I'm not put in that position.sourblush said:ok, i think i will attach a translation of the hindi bits with a signed letter by me swearing that the translation is correct.

and maximize the sentimental part however, when we had sex..we were not married... i hope that is ok...bcoz in india...some people look down upon it?
Well, some people do look down on it from a religious point of view, but from a legal point of view, I think it is an advantage because it shows that your relationship has been intimate for a longer period of time. I can't say how the officials in India may view it, but we are talking about Canadian law. I doubt that there would be anything bad about sex before marriage in the immigration context. It helps to support the fact that your marriage is indeed genuine.sourblush said:
