For those of you just sending in your applications - all I can say is enclose EVERY little thing you have that shows you are a couple. It doesn't matter how small or insignificant you may think it is. I loaded that application with every receipt, photo, phone card. phone bill, letters from friends and family (I think I had over a dozen) telling them how they met him & supported us etc. including one from my 8 year old niece wanting to meet her Uncle. I had every receipt from the purchase of our rings to wedding decoration receipts to receipts from Baseball games we went to. Any receipt I saved, it didn't matter what it was from. Just shopping receipts even.

I also got file folders from staples - bright coloured velcro closing ones and wrote on the outside of each one what was inside and our names. Ie. one was full of photos, one with the sponsorship forms etc. Each photo I also wrote on the back of. I probably sent over 300 photos. Make sure you enclose ones of him with your friends and family and vice versa. Take the time to date and write on each one where you were etc. Make sure you have lots and that you don't have the same clothes on in each picture.

I wrote a 9 page letter telling them everything about us. I knew they would question some things and so I layed it all out on the line. I went on and on...kind of like this e-mail!! LOL But I knew that was MY chance to tell my side of the story. It must have worked as my husband was never asked for an interview.

I walked around my apartment and anything I could find I put in there. Airline ticket stubs, napkins from restaurants, the personalized napkins, stir sticks, napkins and mint tins from our wedding, anything!

Overload them. Seriously, who cares if you never get those things back as long as you get your husband! If you want to keep something but want to also send it make a photocopy of it.

Well that's enough rambling for one night. I hope I have helped someone else who may be putting their package together as we speak.

P.S. Read, re-read and re-read again the entire sponsorship package. Do not miss out anything. If you are not sure about something - call Immigration here in Canada BEFORE you send it in. Don't rush to send it in and make mistakes. Take the time to do it properly. Turn the TV off and concentrate soley on it. Do what they say and make sure you fill it all out in BLOCK letters - follow their instructions!!

Good luck everyone - I really, really mean it!

Translations

You should send your originals to Dominican Republic Serices in Toronto. They will do the translations and then send them to the Dominican Consulate to be certified. They do everything for you. Check out their website and contact them. I know a lot of people who have used their services and beenn very glad they did so.

Marriage Certificate

Taken from their website:

If you want your Dominican Marriage Certificate to be translated into English and legalized by the Dominican Republic Consulate in Canada as required by some Canadian institutions or in order for you to change your maiden name to married name, you have to send to us the following documents:

Your original marriage certificate plus two photocopies with a note if corrections are required.

Your mailing address and daytime phone number .

If possible, your wedding picture and a testimony for our website and/or wedding album.

forget the lawyer

I would suggest forgetting about having the lawyer do them...it is just a waste of money to pay the legal fees.

Dominican Republic Services is good as Lexi mentioned but also quite expensive.

I had all of my documents translated at the multicultural center in our city. You could also call the local settlement organization near you as well. They probably do the same thing or can direct to the right people.

These are offices that help newcomers to canada to settle.

They offer translation services at a good price and are very familiar with the immigration process. They usally have copies of the immigration applications for in & out of country and can help with any questions or review your application for accuracy.

I had my marriage cert, police, some personal docs etc translated at approx. $25.00 per document & $5.00 to have the certification stamp applied & signed.

For the purpose of this application, you do not have to have the docs notarized. They just have to be translated & certified by an official spanish to english translator.

When I received the documents back, there is a cover page that basically says the translators info, that they are certified to translate this document etc. The 2nd page is the translation & the 3rd page a copy of the original document. All 3 pages are stamped & signed & are accepted by immigration.

There are a number of ways you can go about doing this....this is just my 2 cents worth.

Good luck with everything,
Sangria

Info on caips notes part 1

GENERAL INFORMATION ON CAIPS NOTES

What is CAIPS?
CAIPS stands for Computer Assisted Immigration System. It is part of the Electronic Data Processing (EDP) system used by the Canadian Immigration offices to process visa applications outside Canada.

When to get your CAIPS file?
If you have been invited for an interview, get your CAIPS file to better prepare for the interview.
If you feel that your application is taking much longer than usual, or you have not heard anything from the visa office for a long time, then you should consider getting your CAIPS file to check your case status.
If you have any question regarding the application or you are just curious about your application


What kind of information is available in CAIPS file?
CAIPS contains your all immigration information.
1) The status of your case and required documents (received or not, valid or invalid, etc)
2) Visa officer's comments on your case
3) Quesitons that you will be asked in the interview (if an interview is required)

How long does it to get my CAIPS file?
From three weeks (at least) to 36 business days (at most).

What is the difference between CAIPS and CIC's e-cas ?
CAIPS contains much more information than the information e-cas does.
In most cases, CIC's e-cas only contains no more than three lines of information while a typical CAIPS file has 7 pages.

Will the request of my CAIPS file delay my Canadian Immigration application anyway?
Absolutely not.
To request your CAIPS file does not affect the processing of your Canadian Immigration application because your CAIPS file is requested & sent directly from CIC headquater in Ottawa while your application is processed in Port au Prince.
Immigration officers in the Consulate or Embassy who review your application do not know of your request.

Straight from ICI office in Haiti, about birth certificates

In french I asked them to confirm exactly which birth certificate, they accept and they replied with the one in red:

From: Chantale C
Sent: November 16, 2009 7:00 PM
To: PRNCE (IMMIGRATION)
Subject: certificat de naissance: Extracto ou Inextensa?

Bonjour,

J'habite pr?sentement en R?p. Dom. depuis 18 mois (je ne peux pas contacter Immigration Canada via leur num?ro 1-800) mais le 1 800 O-Canada m'a donn? votre courriel.

Je pr?pare actuellement une demande de r?sidence permanente avec mon conjoint et en ce qui concerne la R?publique Dominicaine, quelle version du certificat de naissance est accept? par Immigration Canada? Car aucun guide du CIC mentionne le type de certificat accept?...

Extracto de acta
ou
Inextensa de acta

Merci d'avance,
Chantale
