I did screenshots of some of my Facebook pages and then had them printed off as photos at a photo lab. It was cheaper than using my own ink. I had quite a few.

Hope this helps!

No problem pamtee!!

I just thought of something else. I had Facebook Messenger chats and for those I printed myself. I found a way to go back to the oldest oned and print them. I don't delete much so I had chats from 2009. Lol

The photos I had printed off were some different Facebook posts that also had comments. Things like when we took trips or visited each other I would post photos or write something on my Facebook about it. Those are the ones that I screenshot and had printed.
I also took screenshots of my "old mail" from my emails. It was cool because it showed the dates, subject line and who the email was sent to. I still have a ton of emails from years ago too.

Smiles..

I'm sorry, I don't really know much about that. I would think that CIC would need it translated. Maybe one of our senior members could answer that.

Yes, but you can translate them yourself. Only official documents need to be translated professionally and notarized, so you can translate your own FB messages.

I had three different envelopes and then put those in a box. I bought a large size box at Canada Post and they taped it up for me. To me the envelopes are protecting the documents inside the box.

Hope this helps!!

Last question ;D I'm now going to print everything and I'm just wondering if I can print the proof of genuine relation part in a legal size paper different from the cic forms?

I used 8x11 (US letter size) in printing cic forms, so with proof of genuine relationship to make it uniform.

did everybody made a table of content in each envelop ... what is inside?
or is it enough to put the checklist in and all the proof in one of the envelops?
they will find what they looking for or do they need more help the officer to find everything if it is already organized?

like some evidence is required in sponsor and applicant checklist but it will be just in one envelop ... will it be okay or do I have to tell them on a sheet of paper where they can find it?

how you organize but not to over organize with to many information???

;)
