marriage certificate for Express Entry

[rizauddin446]

I have read the previous posts where they say that spouse names in passports and joint account for funds can be used to prove your marriage. So you can, include a letter of explanation as well.

Ok thanks ya. Do you know the procedure for re-applying marriage certificate. If yes can you please help me to get those detail

I am not sure i can help you with the procedure for re-applying for a marriage certificate. You should ask your people who live in your country. Each country is different.
Goodluck

Can someone let me know if the marriage certificate needs to be attested by ministry of external affairs before submitting for Canada PR? or I can submit the original copy and it should suffice? Thank you.

Hi
For marriage proof, can we just submit religious marriage certificate and JOINT MARRIAGE AFFIDAVIT?

Hi,

Has anyone got married in church from India and applied for PR? We have church marriage certificate which is notarized by government of Maharashtra and marriage registrar of India, all these stamps are at the back side of church marriage certificate. Does this works?

My application got straight away cancelled because I only submitted my marriage affidavit. I did not submit my urdu marriage certificate. Now I am going to get it translated and submit both of them. Also, I will be submitting my passport along with my spouse passport as we have each other name in the spouse section and my kids passport (name of father and mother mentioned in passport ) for a strong case. As we have our name on each of our passport. Is there anyone who have got more input on this ?

Hi,
We are here on work permit and received ITA. Now while filing up form we realized that our marriage certificate has wrong date. while we applied for work permit we gave correct marriage date with the same Marriage certificate (that contains wrong date). Marriage certificate was issued in India.
Now I need to understand if I need to apply for correction in my marriage certificate. If yes then can we do it online or can someone from India do this on our behalf.
Any help is much appreciated.
