Selection certificate - Quebec, missing documents?

I have applied for the Selection Certificate for Quebec last year and just received an email saying that they intend to reject my application if I do not provide the following:

1) Translation of the documents for my spouse's masters degree.
2) Proof of social contributions and income tax.

What sounds ridiculous is that in case 1) the masters degree is not relevant as my spouse's 2nd degree in English would count for 3 points and the maximum number of points obtainable is 3.
Would anyone advise if I can just write back to them saying to 'forget' the masters degree or should I translate the certificate and booklet of list of modules etc for something like £150 when I know it won't count towards points? That is just money thrown out of the window.

In case 2) I have given a signed letter from the Inland Revenue showing all proofs like tax payments etc (except no mention of the contributions as National insurance) and I had given just that because it says on the original form that:

To certify the legality of your work experience:
• Proof of your personal social security contributions or proof of exemption from
payment of social security premiums
If you cannot provide proof of social contribution or proof of exemption from
payment of social security premiums, you must provide proof of payment of personal
income tax.


I cannot see what I have done wrong here. Can anyone please help me understand?

1. You need to provide the requested translation.

2. You can get a record of your NI contributions here :
https://online.hmrc.gov.uk/shortforms/form/NIStatement?dept-name=&sub-dept-name=&location=40&origin=http://www.hmrc.gov.uk

Was the letter from HMRC an original or a certified copy? I'd send it again, with the proof of NI contributions, & certified copies of your P60s if you have them.

So I see it's just a matter of admin, no logic.

I am aware of the statement for the National Insurance but this means it won't be signed and I am not sure that will be valid enough.
The letter from HMRC was an original one and properly signed etc just like they asked for.
