Please submit both translated and original copy. I got rejection because case officer said that my marriage certificate is not original (i submitted translated one with notarised). However, that is the same certificate I used to sponsor my spouse moreover PNP approved my application based on that certificate. But this time i wasn't lucky.

So please please submit original and translated.

Why would you submit a copy if you have the original?

Scan the original and the translation.

You're scanning in PDFs. You are SHOWING CIC the originals via a scanner. You aren't posting them copies.

It's like me sending them a scan of my original passport and a certified copy. Why is a duplicate needed?

Because the instructions in the IRCC website are stupid.

Clear enough?

well, I also found the CIC instructions a bit confusing, concerning the certified copies. I asked some people who already got PPR and they just uploaded scans of the originals + translations.
I cannot say it is 100% correct, but i am gonna upload the following scans as one pdf file: original + copy + translation + translators statement. In case the file will exceed 4mb and compressing it makes the docs not legible, I will skip the copies.
