Lacking original marriage certificate will definetly be a problem. But I think the photocopy will do as well, u just explain them you lost it and if they really need it your wife can submit it to them.
The main reason of interview is to check your identity and see if relationship if genuine. They need additional relationship proves besides the marriage certificate.
I would not advice you cancelling the interview just because of that. They really delay the process of giving visas already a lot. We had our interview in January and still waiting for a decision. Unless you want to delay your visa processing for longer.

Hi Guys, Question - for those that did their medicals at IOM in Lagos (ikeja) did you get your results on the same day e.g. HIV test results? Does the Doctor disclose to you if you have any condition or do they just send it to Canada. My friend is shit scared to go for the medicals coz she says she doesn't want to know if something is wrong with her. I'm telling her not to be scared - knowledge is power

The doctor will usually not give you the test result for most CIC approved doctors but if they do, then it's a personal choice for them. The patient is also not expected to demand for the results. Your friend needs to get the rest done eventually. A lot of people have phobia for getting tested for anything. If she is particularly scared of getting tested for HIV she can get a home test kit from a pharmacy and get herself tested. If she is being sponsored for family class, I don't see why she should be so scared. Her spouse should know anyways right? ( But that shouldn't concern me). Encourage her though. The longer she delays getting tested the longer her application will take so she should definitely go for it!

Thank you Ugoswife. She is terrified. Absolutely terrified. She is applying as a skilled worker but her ex died mysteriously so she thinks it might of been that because he was a player. Good advice. The home test is better before she goes to IOM

Like I said this application is about your relationship not about your certificate so give them the once that have the same name you wrote in the application. send them more proof of your relationship and one or two certificate to confirm your identity is enough.

Hello all
My husband and I have been frustrated waiting for the GCMS notes. I replied back to ICCR to send the notes Electronically mid Jan. Waiting the 30 days and we didn't receive our notes. I than emailed again at 31 days....they responded yesterday stating they waiting for acknowledgement of electronic or paper. I had already emailed them and stated electronically. We are being helpless, frustrated and we don't know why this is happening.

Originally I ordered the GCMS notes mid December. Had to do a consent form, did that. Waited 30 more days. So over two months passing and we just want to know whats happening to the file. Can anyone relate to this?

Hi. I see you applied in June. We're you able to get any reasonable info from your gcms notes showing that the officer has started working on your file? I'm trying to see if there is a complete halt on application processing or if they are working on them slowly. Thanks.

I applied for the GCMS note aJnuary this year. They last activity on my file was September 2016. It also shows that an email correspondence was received January this year.
I was hurt knowing that they had done little on my file.I have been resident in Canada for 2 years, however, this delay affects me and my partner as i cant get a reasonable job without the right work permit
@Ugoswife Any idea on the month currently processed?
