By the way, many Commissioners of Oaths do affidavit for free, such as the court staff, local councilors.

Certified translators are the members of translation associations with licenses. In the sample, the translator is not certified translator but from a immigrant service company, that's why it has to have affidavit. The CIC requirements don't say the translator has to be from a company, only must...

If you apply for citizenship and the PR card renewal is not finalized, your citizenship application will be put on hold until that is finalized. Because citizenship application needs immigration clearance and your PR card renewal in progress has triggered PRD (Permanent Resident Determination)...

For anyone wants to ask friend to translate and get an affidavit, here is an example:

Here is an example of translation without certified translator:

According to this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/cit/admin/general/translation.asp It does not have to be a certified translator. A friend can also does this and get an affidavit (it's very cheap and even free). I wonder why so many people spend big money on certified...

Again, do not expect Canada and US have the same level of human rights as Europe. In terms of human rights, Canada and US are still very backwards countries. I know in Britain to apply passport, you don't even need paper proof from parents, just their passport numbers are OK, government will...

That's because OP is lucky. If (s)he was born in a country without birthright citizenship law, and his/her mother's citizenship could not be inherited, (s)he would definitely become stateless. Then Canadian government would have violated UN Conventions on Statelessness.

In Europe, there is European Convention on Human Rights enforced by European Court of Human Rights to protect many aspects of human rights. This issue here is protected by ECHR Article 8. While in US and Canada, there is no such thing. The one you quoted is from an UN Convention which is not...

I don't know why you were kept being referred to Traveler Redress Inquiry Program as it's for dispute of decisions CBP made (such as refuse, delay) during the inspection. It's not for dispute of their records. It's the FOIA's job to deal with it. When I disputed my FOIA, an attorney instead of...

I suggest you request FOIA from US CBP about your records, if you see the wrong record, then request appeal of FOIA, an attorney from CBP will search your records in another system called TECS used by law enforcement and analyze the data, it will show the detailed person encounter records input...

I guess you have to convince US CBP it's they made mistake (although it's your husband made mistake first), and it's a very serious matter, after all it's law enforcement evidence, it will cause huge problem in case you are involved in any big legal matter in the future. Imagine if that record...

I guess only US CBP can prove it if they are willing to do internal investigation to verify what you said (your scenario is very rare as both your husband and the border officer made mistake at the same time), such as to get surveillance camera record. But the big question is are they willing to...

If there is name match in RCMP database, fingerprint is requested.

Have you checked i94.cbp.dhs.gov? Did you see the same record? The website was upgraded recently and the records are much accurate now. Does the record have the document number with it, just in case there is a person with exactly same name, DOB and nationality as you? Can you think any reason...
