Our marriage certificate has a foreign language and French (it is a bilingual official document by default). Similarly, my wife's (she is not Canadian) passport and ID has both the foreign language and English. For these documents they already have English (and French for the marriage certificate) by default but do I still need them to be translated into English by a certified translator? If so, would I also need notary stamp?

If all fields are in English or French, no translation is necessary.

Thank you, for the quick response.

Also, when I take a photocopy of our marriage certificate or any other documents do I need to get the notary stamp on the photocopy to prove it is a photocopy of the original document and is not altered etc?

Only if required by your country specific guidelines.

Hi,

I had applied as Married non accompanying spouse. My husband was in the US then and I was in India. The plan was that he will stay in the US for next few months till I apply for his PR. But his company transferred him(for good) and we came to canada together. He came here on a close work permit.

Its been 4 months now. I am working and can sponsor his PR now. Can anybody pls help on what best reason can i state for this inland application as in the PR we were married non-accompanying ? are there any chances of rejection ?

also how much time does open work permit take ?

You don't need to state anything. Just apply. Provided you have strong proof of a genuine relationship, your chances are fine.

3-4 months.

Approximately how long on average would it take for the police check sent from the 3rd party provider to show up on gckey as received?

My spouse in Colombia did her police check and got a confirmation from the outside security company that the results were sent to CIC. These are the additional documents required listed on her gckey as needing to be submitted as nothing else has been requested.

Does this status update and change when received?

Hi everyone. So I'm back to this forum 3rd time... New application, now for my common-law partner.



As of December 3, 2019, you need to give your fingerprints and photo (biometrics) if you’re applying within Canada as a

  • foreign worker (including extending your work permit)
  • international student (including extending your study permit)
  • visa-required visitor (including extending your stay)
  • permanent resident
Interesting (I was the OP that your quoted reply was addressing ). Does this mean I will have to leave Canada to give biometrics for my PR and OWP, or will I be able to do it inland? I'll hunt around the web but just wondering if you knew offhand. Thank you!

There are now inland locations, so if biometrics are required, you can do them here.
