Original Proof of employment or copy

[rogerset]

Hi, I am sponsoring my wife who lives in India and I just sent off all the paperwork to CPC- Missisauga.

However, I realised that I sent only a printout of the proof of employment required to be provided by the sponsor (me).

In the checklist however, it says 18: Provide a 'original' letter of employment from your employer.....

Will my application package get returned since I did not provide the original but a copy of it? My employer allows me to download the letter from our internal website to avoid paper mails and so I just printed out my employment letter.

Pl advise.

They may ask for it. You should have that letter ready if they do ask for it.

Hi Vietnam, I do have it with me but in a PDF file fashion. So what I did is, printed out the PDF and submitted it along with the package.

Now the checklist says 'original',

So will CPC return it and say 'submit original'

Also to be on safe side, along with this printout, I had also submitted my past years' 2012 T-4

Pl advise

Anyone- Pl advise me on my query

Original means that the letter should be signed by someone at the company (your manager, human resources) and that you need to submit the letter with the original signature.

Hmm...I never even thought about this, but have a similar situation.

So if the original letter (on company letterhead with signature) was faxed to us, would that likely be acceptable to CIC, or not because it is in fact a facsimile?
