Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has heard of a case like this.
My common-law partner and I are getting married after submitting our passports and getting the COPR, which we received under common-law status. We plan to send a webform to IIRC to inform them right after the wedding.
The issue lies in getting the marriage certificate for proof. In the Philippines, the official (PSA) marriage certificate will take several months to process. We can get the local civil registry marriage certificate, but at least for spousal sponsorship the IRCC requires the PSA version.
Do you think it will be fine to land in Canada with just the local marriage certificate and a promise to send the PSA one when it's ready?
Thanks for any insights.
