With pleasure, but how do I do this / How do I send you an e-mail with an attached WORD document ?
I am not familiar how to do it.
However, here it is, you will just have to fill the spaces with your own information. I will try and put in red where you have to place your own information, I do not know how it will look in the end, but here it is:
Missing Original Chinese Police Certificate Explanation Note
Attached is a notarized certified translation copy of my wife’s (her name here) Police Certificate.
I wanted to get the original Police Certificate as well, as per CIC web site requirements, and the Public Notary office in Guangzhou, where the Notarized and certified translation document was produced, told me that they had to retain the original Police Certificate for their files, in order to release the notarized translated copy. They told me that, in China, a notarized copy has the same effect or power, from a legal point of view, as the original and all Notarized and certified translated police certificate documents produced so far were good for the Canadian Immigration of Chinese citizens married with Canadian citizens. I was told that I was the only one asking for the original Police Certificate. I told them that I just wanted to comply with the Canadian CIC requirements.
I called the CIC Call Centre and explained the situation to an officer, called Allan, and he advised me to produce this explanation note of why the original Chinese Police Certificate for my wife is missing.
