Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

You have to submit original Urdu Nikahnama along with its certified English translation as well. I submitted only NADRA Marriage certificate and they later asked me to submit urdu NN with English translation. It might have delayed my process by couple of weeks. So submit all three documents now to save time later.

Thanks Yasir bro,
please advise me from where I can get my Urdu Nikah Nama translated in English and from where I can certify it in Lahore.

Thanks!

Yes, it is normal, some people get re-med requests directly from LVO while most of the people are getting it from New Delhi as it is sharing the burden of LVO these days. Write the email to canmedpk @ iom.pk (without spaces) and ask for the appointment, please do write applicant's details as well like:

Name:
CNIC No.:
D.O.B.:
Passport No.:
UCI / File No.:
Medical Requirement for: Spousal Immigration to Canada under Family Class
Preferred IOM center: Karachi / Lahore / Islamabad

you will be replied in couple of days and the appointment will be set with further instructions

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Congratulations to you. I hope to see my status changed to "in process" very soon now.

Thanks Salar, Inshallah your status will change also pretty soon.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Thanks Yasir bro,
please advise me from where I can get my Urdu Nikah Nama translated in English and from where I can certify it in Lahore.

Take the copy of your Urdu Nikah nama to any notary public (you will find them around local courts), they have English translation formats. The notary public will plug in your information in the form, sign and put his seal. This is the certified English translation. If you want the Nadra marriage certificate then contact your local Nadra office in Lahore.

First of all this email does not indicate that they have the intentions to extend your medical at all.... you have to wait to be asked for re-medical.

Secondly Looks like you left enough gap in your application for an immigration officer that he came back with the stated concerns. I would say take this email seriously and reply/provide them with a comprehensive answer and proof to cover this all else (sorry to say) there is a potential that your file may be put for an interview queue. This does not mean that I am discouraging you at all but sharing my thoughts and CIC trends. So take this as an opportunity to fill this gap up with strong and solid Proof.

They asked you to provide them with the certified copy of the translation for the following documents:
Marriage Certificate and Nikkah Nama (also include the copy of the original documents)
Make sure you include an affidavit from the person who completed the translation. (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/cit/admin/general/translation.asp)

Clearly states about the family relationship between you guys before marriage.

Clearly states your plane for Valima. I would recommend to even provide them the exact dates and also includes the invitation card.

Provide them all kind of correspondence b/w you guys e.g. whatsapp chat history, viber, skype, facebook messenger and facebook profile page (where it indicates your relationship) etc. Particularly his itinerary and boarding passes and entry/exit immigration stamps on the passport etc.

Finally put everything in an envelop and mention your UCI and File number outside & Inside the package and FedEx them ASAP.

AGAIN make sure do not leave any gap for further questionnaire.

Best of luck.

I have looked at the link you provided.
1) the web page is titled: Citizenship applications: Translation of documents
2) an affidavit from the person who completed the translation, if required

I had only followed the instructions from the guide and forms for spousal immigration.
All my translations are certified on stamped pamper. I did not get an affadavit.
If it was so important I would have at least expect it to be mentioned in the guide.

I am not sure what other people have submitted but I haven't heard of any rejections because there was no affadavit for spousal sponsorship supporting docs.

I agree.
If the translation is on a stamped paper with oath commissioner signature that translation is legit and doesn't require any affidavit.

Translation on a stamp paper is definitely a good idea. But this is clearly stated in the guide as well. Brows to the link below and look for "Translation of documents" Phrase (Under Step 1. Gather Documents).

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp

You will find exact these steps stated in the guide:

Any document that is not in English or French MUST be accompanied by:

1) the English or French translation; and
2) an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
3) a certified copy of the original document.

And CIC not only asking for an affidavit but also the certified copy of the original document. In the same guide you can find the definition/description of "Certified true copies" with the stated phrase "“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”.

If they have even mentioned the exact phrase then I would say just to follow what was asked.

My lawyer filled everything out for me. The valima already took place the day after I got married, i guess my lawyer forgot to mention. I will send pictures and the invitation card. Also where would my husband need to go t properly get the nikkah nama translated? Also to prove our family relation what do i need to send? Somebody said something about b form? Please let me know, I'm really worried now. I was happy to get correspondence but after hearing you say theres too much of a gap I am very worried. Please help.

Just compose a letter and comprehensively describe you valima in details (e.g. location, how many people were there etc.) and if you have Hotel reserved provide its Booking confirmation or Bill of payment, if possible. As far as your second question is concerned you don't need to provide any kind of documentation to proof that he is your cousin. All you need to do is to explain the Immigration Officer in the same letter about his asked question(He has a concerned under "Client Information": "You state that your mother is your sponsor's aunt. Please confirm are you and your sponsor cousins or is your mother, your sponsor's aunt by marriage ?"). Looks like he is not cleared/convinced by the information provided in the application questionnaire.

As far as translation is concerned you can get it done by any notary public BUT make sure you get all these done from the same person and send with your package:
1) the English or French translation; and
2) an affidavit from the person who completed the translation (S/He has the knowledge of concerned language and the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document.); and
3) a certified copy of the original document. (Usually Notary public do have the stamp stating "I certify that this is a true copy of the original document" make sure you get photocopy stamped)

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

If the translation is on a stamped paper with oath commissioner signature that translation is legit and doesn't require any affidavit.

All standard companies/translator get the translation done on their company's letterhead not on a STAMP Paper (I never heard any translation on a STAMP paper). CIC clearly states for an affidavit where translator swears in front of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country where the translator lives, that

1) S/He has the knowledge of concerned language
2) The contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document.

Stamp paper goes with the actual translation paper (which is usually done on company's letterhead).
