Hi
Since my PR card is going to expire, and no news on my citizenship application (42 months) applied Sept 2010 , I started collecting documents for PR card renewal and one of the requirements is to send photocopy of passports held in the last 5 years and translate any Non English stamps on it. With this I am also attaching a copy of the first and last page of the expired passport > 5 yrs old which has the Canada visa on it and the landing date.
When I was looking at what translation I have to do, I recollected how I did my translation of arabic stamps (English dates, arabic text) for my RQ submission. They asked me to "submit legible copies of current and expired passport, any foreign dated stamps to be translated. The list of supporting documents must include the 4 year period prior to the date of application i.e. Sept 2010". I did provide all current and expired passport color copies. For the translation, I translated stamps which were after 2004 (the date of landing). This would cover all stamps right from 2004 and also the 4 year period 2006-2010. I did not translate older stamps before 2004 and I have stamps like from 1994. I am not sure if this will be a problem. Should I send them the other translations (before 2004) as additional documents for RQ submission? My RQ was submitted in Dec 2011 with additional documents once sent in Dec 2012. Not sure if it will be good to submit another set of additional documents now when I am already 42 months from date of application. Or is it better to just wait and let them respond as they have not reviewed the RQ yet as per the ATIP reports.
