    Listen, I am telling you what we did in August, which implied a sello from the Colombian Consulate in Montreal. Did you speak to a notary in Colombia or in Canada? This is a very specific situation and some people might not have all the information, especially if they have never married any...

    Sponsorship through Bogota 2015-2016

    She needs to submit them to the Colombian Consulate in Canada, which will stamp them (75$). After, you have them translated (we did it in Colombia), and later 'legalizados'. Make sure to send them to translate after the Consulate applied the stamp.

    Sponsorship through Bogota 2015-2016

    Sponsorship through Bogota 2015-2016

    Congrats jorlando! Must be such a relief, I have no clue when you'll receive the passport but every day that goes by es una dia menos! Quick question, as you'll probably move to Canada in a very near future: Did you buy a one-way ticket? Did you find anything good that doesn't go through the...
