Certificate of Talaq is an Urdu handwrittn form issued by the Union Council stating the particulars of divorce. I think they dont issue these Ceriticates of Talaq now as the DRCs are vaild in Pakistan. I got it from the Union Council though along with the DRC. I needed the DRC for my next marriage and the Secretary could not give me that in time so he made me a handwritten Cert of Talaq at the time and gave me the DRC later.

Hi, I have found this forum very helpful so my heartfelt thanks to people here who give such useful advice. I'm going to apply for sponsorship (2nd marriage case). Have a few questions:
1. Does the sponsor also need to submit Authorization to Disclose Information form?
2. Do we need to submit the original Urdu nikah nama or just the attested photocopy with English translation?
3. I know that Nadra marriage certificate is optional. But if anyone submits it do they need to submit the Original Nadra marriage certificate or its photocopy? Photocopy should be attested or not?
4. I have the Canadian Ceriticate of Divorce issued by the court. But I had to get the Pakistani Divorce Registration Certificate as well because Canadian divorce certificates are not valid in Pakistan. Now is the Canadian certificate enough for application or should I submit the Pakistani certificate as well?

I have only submitted canadian divorce certificate and now i am panicking what if they return my application due to missing pakistani divorce certificate.
But as divorce was happened in Canada so i thought to just submit canadian one.
I would have also submitted just the Canadian divorce certificate if not advised here to submit the Pakistani as well. Nowhere in instructions its is asked to submit both so I think they will not return the application. They might just ask for it in the ADR.
While I think it's unlikely that it would be returned because of this, I don't see any downside to providing them the Pakistani divorce and an explanation that it was required to remarry in Pakistan.
(I suspect they will know this and may or may not ask for it).
At any rate, i'd be inclined to just wait for ADR. If you want to get ahead, you could try submitting through webform.
Hi guys. December 2021 applicant. PA from Pakistan. My timeline as follows:
16-Dec-2021 Application Shipped
29-Dec-2021 Delivered in Sydney, NS
17-Mar-2022 AOR 1
06-Apr-2022 Biometrics payment request
11-Apr-2022 Sponsorship Approval
I also applied for my spouse TRV in March and got the biometrics request the next day. Surprisingly it automatically got linked with my sponsorship application and biometrics are showing up in both gc key and the new tracker. BUT, I got an update in gc key on 6th april asking to pay the biometrics fee and to submit the receipt via web form. Anyone else faced this issue? I mean why are they asking for biometrics again as it already says biometrics received on the new tracker. And then 6 days later i got the sponsorship approval. I didn't pay for biometrics again and submitted the screenshots from the gc key and new tracker via webform where it said biometrics received. CIC is just "lakeer kay fakeer" to be honest. Here im seeing applicants from India getting approvals left right and center but Pakistanis yahan bi Absolutely Not. Lol

What are you complaining about? I don't get it? You just approval in barely 4 months?
Don’t hold your breath on the TRV my husband handed his in December 2020 and it’s still in process. On good note we were a February 2020 application and he landed November 2021. There’s hope good luck
1. Both have to show paperwork of divorce if married before.
2. You have to submit both urdu nikah and an English translation that’s a verified transaction
3. Also submit a copy of the marriage certificate you need as much proof as you can because they will try sending for an interview that’s over a years wait so more proof the better.
4. on the safe side submit both
5. Make sure you have copies of your invitations that you sent. Lots of pictures send more then what they ask for, remember to date them with everyone’s name in the picture. The more you send the easier it will be. They can be jerks when it comes to these things so more is better and good luck be patient because it is truly long. We almost hit 2 years in our application before we were reunited and now it’s a distance memory. Things will at times seem like it’s not worth it there will be tears but I’m the end it’s all is truly worth the wait.
Thank you so much for your help. If you can help me with one more thing: what should I submit as proof of cohabitation. We are living togheter here in Pakistan after marriage right now. But I will apply from Canada. So what docs will be considered a proof of cohabitation?
Any bills in both your names or separate bills that shows the same address. If you have a credit card add your spouse onto it as a secondary and print that out as well. A lease with both names if renting. Lots of letters from family and friends the more letters the better. If you have messages between you two in English asking when you are coming home that the other miss’s you will help. Even take pictures of closet with both clothes side by side honestly anything helps. But make sure there are lots of letters from friends and family from both countries proving that everyone knows about you. I have pictures of my husband and I with his family hanging on my walls in Canada and took pictures of those. If you give as much proof to where they can’t deny you for any reason the better. Oh better yet a joint bank account would be great proof as well.
But since you are married focus on letters from many people we had 7 letters that we sent in but if you can manage to get more that will be good. If you sent money back and forth that’s proof and cards or gifts that’s proof of the relationship as well. Print out your call logs to each other text messages emails. Those are all proof of a relationship.
