Hi,

We live in England and all of our documents are in English, would we have to have any of them notorized, be it originals or Photocopies, if we do would any kind of solicitor be ok? Or who else could do it?

To my knowledge they would not need to be notorised because there in one of Canada's two principle languages. I don't remember having to get any of mine notorised (even photo copies), but it was more than five years ago.

Normally you do not have to worry about "notarization" unless the visa
office requests certified true copies.

This is not true, Jim. It quite clearly states in the guide (Appendix A
Checklist) that documents have to be notarised.

Quote - Do not send originals. Send notarized photocopies of the originals
of all documents except the police certificate, which must be originals. -
Unquote

It is easy enough to look in the yellow pages for a Notary Public who can do
the job for you. It only cost me £25.00 for notarising 37 documents so if
you get charged much more than this you are being ripped off.

Regards
BJ

Actually BJ....

In Appendix A it DOES NOT state that ALL photocopies have to be
notarized....

Do not send originals. Send photocopies of all documents except the police
certificates, which must be originals. IF YOUR DOCUMENTS ARE NOT IN ENGLISH
OR FRENCH, send a notarized (certified) translation with a copy of the
originals)

After speaking with a representative from Canada Immigration the only things
that need to be notarized are any statutory declarations that you may need.
In my case a Statutory Declaration of Intent to move back to Canada after my
partner recieves PR, and the statutory declarartions made by 2 people
stating that our relationship is genuine and continuing. (I am sponsoring my
partner as common law in the family class)

Also, I am in the UK as well...where did you find a notary public for so
bloody cheap??? lol only one in my phone book and hes charging £20 per
form...must be a rip off....So I guess if you can find a notary that cheap
you could get everything notarized to be on the safe side...

Good luck to everyone!
