Happy New Year!
I am making this post because I am scared about a current matter involving sending a missing document for an application that was already sent.
Here´s the story: I am currently applying to extend my Post Graduate Work Permit, which is due to expire on January 31st of 2016. My only problem is that I got married on the 3rd of October of 2015, and the process to receive the certificate of marriage takes approximately 12 weeks after the wedding ceremony to be registered and sent by the Office of the Registrar General (ORG). This means that I will receive the certificate around the beginnings of January, 2016, which is also within the last 30 days before my current Post Graduate Work Permit expires.
With this concern in mind, I contacted CIC and spoke on the phone with an agent who explained to me the risks that involves sending the application within the last 30 days before my current status expires, such as not having enough time to send additional documents in case
they were needed by the offices of citizenship and immigration.
Following the suggestion of two agents, I’ve attached a copy of my Record of Solemnization to serve as a temporary substitute for the Marriage certificate, alongside with this letter explaining my current situation while promising that I would send the Copy of the Marriage certificate to CIC once I had the original document at hand.
My only problem is that I am terrified about not knowing if I made the right choice with this matter. I know that I was recommended to do this by two different agents, but I am worried that the application´s process won´t go as smoothly because of this choice.
Please, if you have or even know someone that has done the same thing or even gone through a similar situation, then I would appreciate if you could share this experience with with me so that I can calm myself. I just need to know if this choice won´t affect my application´s process. I know this seems like a useless post, but I am so anxious that I am having trouble sleeping and thinking straight.
Thank you ceru much for your time. Take care!
