DS160 Non Immigrant Visa, if you're from a country who has visa requirements to enter the US.
Just a visa to travel the State. I think it is Ds160.

Anyway, do you have any ideas about bringing personal belongings to Canada? Not sure if I can ask my parents to bring them here for me..

There is a form you can fill out.. Goods to follow I believe.

You'll have to ask the landing agent about that process. My wife shipped her belongings in smaller (big for mail) boxes over 2 months to me before coming. She also packed her suitcase with only what was left behind...

Are you applying inland or out? Inland, I would suggest applying for the OWP. That way, you maintain status (as the PR app doesn't grant you any status until granted). It doesn't mean you have to work, but it grants you permission to remain in Canada until the permits' validity period.

That said, marriage certificate is required. If it was performed in Canada, no need to certify, as the region does that. If it was performed overseas, then it must be translated (if it's not in English) and certified.

Yes education documents should be submitted. It assists them in proving your background claims.

We sent my wife's degree and transcript. Translated and notarized. Not to say they wouldn't accept a case without, but why would you want to hide something that's easily proven, that they will find anyway, and that can speed your BG check up (they make 1 call to verify, instead of weeks tracking that time down)? Right?

Yup. however, check out here. https://taontario.ca/translation/immigration/2/
$50/page and $39 every additional page.

Sometime I wish, the price that we paid for our application processing would include this cost so that we don't need to look for it.

There will be no passport request. You will get a COPR at the landing interview, and they will order your PR Card for you there and then. Takes 6-8 weeks to get.

Medicals showing received is good, as they are acknowledging them as passed. MyCIC will show them as passed as well. But when you see Decision Made on both sides, you can expect a landing interview invite.
