Hello folks, i have another question related to document translation.

I already have my birth certificate translated from india 5 years ago and notarized copy of my certificate as well. But i dont have affidavit from the translator nor is he certified in canada.

Is affidavit from translator absolutely mandatory? Also is it absolutley mandatory to get it translated by a canada certified translator?

1) The other parent has expired. So both don't need to pass medical. They will most likely request a death certificate if you don't submit one upfront.
2) It was the same for me. In addition to passport copies and birth certificate, i sent an explanation letter indicating how generic last name such as "Singh" and "kaur" on birth certificates was common from where I am. I also sent a copy of my parents' old ID that didn't have their last name on it.
Hi, could you share the contents of the" explanation letter indicating how generic last name such as "Singh" and "kaur" on birth certificates was common from where I am". Please urgent help needed. I am in the same boat for the death certificate of my grandfather where he doesnt have a last name. Also did it work for you ?

You don’t need an affidavit from the translator if you had a notarized translation. Translator and notary public do not need to be certified by Canada. They just need to be certified in the country of origin.

My suggestion to you is to get a new notarized translation because the one you have is 5 years old. CIC will want a more recent one.

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have experience of Uploading PCC upfront? do they ask it again if you upload it in advance?

Thanks

It depends on how far along your application is. If you already got IME requests, then you might as well provide PCC without waiting for them to request it. But, if you don’t even have sponsorship approval, then it might be too early to send PCC. They did requested me to provide an “updated” PCC for my parents, as they provided it for visa application last year. So, they will ask for it again if your application takes a while.

Dear Yulia,

I think CIC making fool in our case. Why they calculate the past income which already gone
Umm...you may need to explain a bit clearly than this. Perhaps, a background or context of your application would help us understand what the problem is.

I’m not sure what you meant by CIC calculating past income that is already gone. “Gone” as in you spent it kind of “gone” or it doesn’t exist/apply kind of “gone”? CIC calculates income by looking at your income statements or looking at your tax returns using your SIN on CRA. So, they don’t calculate randomly selected numbers. They rely on information from CRA. If you think your income is wrong, you may want to take it up with CRA, not CIC.

Said: “Ensure that your passport is valid for at least 12 months from the date of this letter. ”
Then, it’s your call. You can renew it or send them as it is. The worst that can happen is your parents getting their passports back. It will cause a delay, but it won’t cost your parents PRs.

Did medical on 6 Feb, 2019. Got pre-arrival letter and ECAS status "Medical Passed" on 20 Feb, 2019.

Got passport request today 3 Mar, 2019.

As for additional tests, it depends on what he's got. My dad got tested for TB simply because he had TB before. He had to do sputum tests three times consecutively and culture for TB testing. But, your dad has something different. So, his tests will be different, of course.
Can you please reply when did you get decision made on your application.
