I'll be submitting the online application in the next few weeks once we have finished all the documentation.

One thing I am wondering, is that for my wife, there is specific requirements for the country that she is from that says an "Original" document MUST be submitted (divorce certificate). We do have this original document, and would just mail it in if we were submitting via traditional mail, but since we are submitting online, would a scan of this original document suffice?

What country? In many countries original means extract or duplicate from issuing authority on fancy paper, not original one from way back.

If this is from Russia or ex usssr, duplicate on fancy paper is fine. You will still need cert translation.

Don't know about online.

 

[Canuck11]

Russia, yes. We already have the original and a certified translation - that isn't the problem. As per this thread, I'm wondering how we can submit the original and the certified translation online - do we just scan and upload it?

Hi Everyone,

If I am applying online, do I need to sign the IMM 1344e and IMM 5532e by hand, scan, and then upload?

I have seen a few answers that recommended this approach. However, when I click validate on the forms, I do get the following message:

---

Validation completed successfully.

Please print the entire application and sign and date the last page. This page contains bar codes that facilitates data entry of your application.

If you are applying online, you do not need to sign your application form by hand. You will be asked to provide an electronic signature once you are ready to transmit your documents to CIC.

---

So I am wondering, what's the correct way to go? Because I also saw a comment from someone that their application was returned because they didn't sign these documents?

What did you do? Uploaded the forms without signing, or printed the form, signed by hand, and then uploaded?

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks,
Akshay

Sorry, that process is new - assume you do what you're doing with all other docs.

I'd suggest if there are none being requested separately, hang on to it and let them request later if they want..

Hi Akshay, you need to validate the forms and print it and sign it and then scan it back. The forms you need to sign and upload are : IMM 1344e, IMM 5532e ,IMM 5476 (If you are hiring a representative).
Don't make a mistake by not signing these forms, I have seen couple of applications got returned in previous months. You will not get in trouble by signing them but your file will be returned for sure if you don't sign it. Make sure when you validate and print put same date along with signatures.
