Has anyone had this experience? Canadian moving back to Canada with my Japanese wife in August. What do I have to do to have our marriage recognized in Canada? Translation of Japanese marriage certificate? Notorized? Anything else? Please help. I posted this issue a while ago with lots of...

Sorry if I'm misinterpreting what I read, but just to be clear, her name is changed on our marriage certificate, it's just the passport that remains with her maiden name at the moment. I'll get her to look into it, but I assume she's gonna have to apply for a new passport or revised or...

I have loads of texts between my wife and I dating back to 2011. I was able to export the conversations to my PC, but I have the options of printing in text or excel format. Which do you think would suit the PR application better? Excel may appear more organized I guess. Also, how much is a...

I just got married to a Japanese citizen. My wife's passport still says her maiden name. Would it be unwise to leave it like that until it expires? (Ten year visas in Japan, created last year, moving to Canada in August and plan to submit sponsorship PR application shortly before we go.) I...

Thank you for the info. I prefer to have a flawless one too. Writing it all over seems daunting in itself, but it's worth the peace of mind.

If I make a mistake on a form, can I use that paper white out and write over it? Or is that not acceptable? Do I have to print out new forms?

I know all the Japanese documents have to be translated. As far as I know there are two routes to get that done. 1. Certified translator 2. Professional translator, then get everything notarized at the Canadian embassy. In Japan, I don't think there are any certified translators recognized...

I am canadian and will be marrying a Japanese girl and moving from Japan to canada with her in July. Got the marriage affidavit signed today. They have me a Japanese version of the form. I assume that one doesn't also have to be notarized. When we get married, we will need to present copies...

Thank you for your reply. Maybe I inadvertently left out some information. We are both living in Japan now and plan to send the PR application before I get any acceptance letters. If we wait to send it, there's risk that when she goes to renew her visitor visa she might not get it. We plan to...

I am Canadian and will sponsor my wife to move to Canada with me. Because the PR application takes so long, we want to send it ASAP. I'm waiting for responses from universities to do school next this September. If we send in the application by April and I get a response from a university to...

I see! Didn't realize that the visa wouldn't guarantee entrance. I'll definitely bring evidence we're married. Thank you. We'll get her some insurance before we go. Great information. Thank you very much!

Thank you for your quick response! We are not common law. But. We plan to get married soon to make the immigration process easier. We would've gotten married anyway, but in a year or a year and a half. It's hard to know if she'd be able to stay in the county with me that long and then we'd be...

I've got a million questions. And it's hard to find answers. The Canadian Immigration folks are not so candid. So I'll start with a few case specific questions that I hope won't take 28 days or no reply means the information is elsewhere. I'm a Canadian citizen. I've been living and working...
