Thank you for that information. Lastly, I also just got my place of birth (Netherlands) to send me an official copy of my birth certificate. That also took a while to sort out and involved a fee. Can I submit a copy of that document for the same reasons or does that also need to be the original...

I currently live in Canada. We're getting ready to submit an inland application for spousal sponsorship. I just received my police certificate from the UK after waiting a whole month for it to process. The police certificate also cost me around $100 CAD. When sending in my application, am I...

My partner and I are considering marriage this year (2021). I am from the UK while my girlfriend is Canadian and lives in Toronto. My girlfriend is currently on employment insurance (EI) due to the pandemic. She was employed before this. The government site mentions that the sponsor cannot be...
