PR Application

Sponsoring Family
1

My spouse (US Citizen) and I (Canadian Citizen) are about to submit our PR application. We got married last year in Ontario, but currently live and work in the US. Our officiant put the wrong date and location on our license, thus resulting in a marriage certificate with the incorrect date and location. We submitted everything to amend it seven weeks ago, but have not heard back.

Evidence we have to support the correct date and location consists of the following:

  1. Letter from officiant admitting to the mistake.
  2. Copy of officiant marriage register page with our correct date and location. He had to amend that page since he put the wrong date and location down there.
  3. Copy of Save the Date showing correct date and location.
  4. Copy of wedding invitation showing correct date and location.
  5. Copy of contract with wedding venue showing correct date and location.
  6. Copy of contract with photographer showing correct date and location.

Will IRCC accept the current marriage certificate knowing we are working to get it amended. We have ample evidence of the correct date and location to share with our PR application.

We are tired of waiting on ServiceOntario to correct the forms. We want to get the process started on the PR application.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
