hello everyone, I'd like to get some some on something that I'm not sure of,. my wife and I are applying to bring her mother and two sisters, we received a letter from immigration asking for the for additional info, they say that they are ready to begin processing the sponsorship application, I have collected all the documents requested, but my concern is this, my family lives in Peru therefore the birth certificates are in Spanish, I was told before that I didn't have to translate them to English, I don't know whether that is true or not but it took sometime for me to get these documents sent to me here in Canada, and I only have a couple of weeks before my 90 days run out, my questions is this: Can I send the documents with the birth certificates ( in Spanish). IS there going to be a problem?
Please advice,
Thanks

The official languages in Canada are English and French. I guess you submitted the application in [English] so you need to send an [English] certified translation to be sure. Even a CIC agent can read/speak Spanish fluently, your document will still get return. So, send a certified copy of the birth certificate (don't send the original), and the certified [English] translation of the birth certificate.

I agree with greenoil...have your birth certicate translate certified to English..otherwise will cost delay.
