Questions about Canadian PR - Please help

[pmat]

As the US GC process is not moving anywhere, I have decided to file immigration application for Canada. I have some questions about the application:

1. Birth certificates: They are asking for the Birth Certificates with the application. I and my wife don't have our birth registered in India. Can we provide birth certificates that the Indian embassy sends for this purpose? For US I-485, we were planning to use Non-availability certificates.

2. Experience Letter: Will a notarized letter from colleague work for showing work-exp in India. Please note that I already have over 4 yrs of experience in US after that - for which I will manage to get a work exp letter from my company.

3. Status in US: My H1B is valid until Oct 2009, but I don't have the visa stamped on my passport (last H1B visa stamp expired). Can I send a copy of I-797 to prove my status? Also, my wife's F-1 visa has expired but she has a valid I-20 until Dec 2007. Can I send copy of I-20 for proving her valid status in US?


I would really appreciate if someone can provide insight in these concerns.


Thanks,
pmat

Nice thought to go for Canadian PR
1. You can ask your relative in India to get your & your wife's birth certificates from India. They just have to request the Municipality or the Hospital and get it registered. You must send your Ration Card with them.

2. I think colleagues' letter will do. This should be on a letterhead and then notarised. Send the notarised copy initially.

3. Send the NOTARISED copies of both of your I-797 approvals and the NOTARISED copy of your Expired Visa. You entered legal into the US for more than 1 year, that's enough for them to accept you as person of status in USA.
