Why don't you contact them and ask what they want. But usually the medical and the police cert have to be original. Other than that it's photo copies. Or some of your documents need to be certifed,legalized and transalated. My husbands birth cert was not a true copy or photocopy but to make it an original document it has to be legalized. Then it is good as an original copy. As well as your marriage cert, you can't give them your orginal document. I'm not sure where your from , but I go to a place called Dominican Republic services. And they do everything for me, any help I need or any questions I ask them. They provide services I believe for hepling out when sponsoring someone.

Thanks Castro, I'm from Canada, and I'm sponsoring my wife from the DR. I received a letter from the Canadian Haiti office requesting that I send some additional documents. and Some of those requests were to send orginal marriage certificate, and original birth certificates. So you are saying I should go and get a legalized copy of them?

What documents did you send when you did your application? Did you send a photocopy of the marriage cert? And a photocopy of the birth cert? When I did my paper work I used the people from the Dominican Republic services, I brought my marriage cert that I recieved when I was married and had them translate it into english aswell as legalize it , to make it a true document. These documents can not be photocopies.

Where in Canada do you live? If you want I can give you the web site, or the number and you can contact these people to get your paper work done. It takes about a week to do it. Let me know, and I would gladly give you the info . Providing we live in the same city!!!

when i did the papers for my husband to come to Canada i sent originals. It's super easy to get another copy of the dominican birth certificate and the same for the marriage certificate. We went to the offices and got the certificates 2 days later. Then you just need to get them translated. That was my expierence last year.

Thanks castro & dchenriquez,

Yes i just realized that it is easy to go get another copy if I ever need it. So I'm just going to send my orginals. I already have them translated, so hopefully this will be quick and easy and my wife can get her soon....

Can anyone tell me how do you get them to answer you.. And Im talking either on the phone or by email.. I have sent countles emails and none of them were answered. I do have the imm5476 signed allowing me to make some changes and ask for updates.. but still.. I did involve my MP and they have more answers, but everytime they're telling it'll take much longer.. They are now up to 15 months for processing any request even those who already have their Bxxxx number.

On the Haiti embassy website

Before sending an email enquiry

also

Information you must provide in your Email Enquiry

No case specific information about an application for visa will be transmitted to you by email unless you have provided in your incoming email Name, your date of birth and your file number or FOSS client ID number.

Please be advised that only your most recent e-mail will be replied to. As a result, if you send repeat messages they will be put in queue and it will take longer for you to receive a reply. Please make sure that all information is within one e-mail message, and that you have provided the name, date of birth and file number (if applicable).

PS
yes yes I know but that's how they spelled it on the website

Hi Milagro02,

Calling them is next to impossible, and due too the privacy act they will not talk about your application over the phone. If you tried emailing them and they are not responding then I would try faxing them. Just make sure you include your client id #, you and your sponsors full name, and date of birth on the fax letter head. I've heard a lot of people saying that they can't get answers to their questions, but saying that I've read on here that someone faxed them with a change of address, and they called and confirmed the next day....or something like that. So maybe try faxing, and see if they respond. Good Luck

Here is the Canadian Embassy Immigration Fax Number (509) 249-9928

Hellol everyone,

It's me again, just received a letter from immigration today...which had me scared and excited at the same time, they have now requested that my wife & daughter undergo a DNA test.....hmm sounds interesting....NOT!!!!.....trying to stay positive, I contacted the DNA lavatory which our fine government recommended Maxxam Analytics - The DNA Lab to find out some information like the procedures & costs...well I was informed the cost is $760.00 for the testing that includes shipping, and all the other stuff likes fancy stickers on the letter, and they even said that they would supply me with a copy of the results (I can't wait to put that in a frame, and hang it up...WOW...It's always nice to be able to show my friends and family that the government is satisfied that she is our child....All I have to say is WOW!!!! and just when I thought the worst was over, the nice kind lady told me the Embassy in Haiti is slow (Really!!! I thought quietly to myself with slight since of aww) they can take up too 4 months to process the results after the testing is complete....Well it feels like the tunnel to hell just doesn't for this cat....so any kind words, or recommendations are welcome....

Thanks

Ohh BTW I submitted my application in October 2006...Waiting ever since.....
