Original Documents

[Carlawarla 1]

Over and over again, in various threads, the topic of originals comes up. They usually seem to be about specific documents, notorized, certified etc. My question is however, at any time, does someone take your original document and not give it back?

At the interview they took the copies and only looked at the originals, I got them back the next day when the visa was issued.

So , for the interview, you bring the originals as well as copies.... and would these be certified copies or just standard copies? They gave back your copies?

UGH ........i gotta stop reading ..im getting overwhelmed

in Canada at least, you never really get the originals of your Birth Certificate or Marriage certificate... what you get are certified copies of these documents..

at my interview they took my certified copies and made copies of them and then gave me the certified copies back..

you're lucky they took photocopies themselves Mar, others have not, and they've kept the certified copies. Sometimes government employees can be lazy

Take along at least 2 photocopies of your documents with you. They'll compare the photocopies with the certified copies and give you back the certified.

It can be overwhelming bring copies of everything. I papercliped the Original to the photocopies and then handed them the original and a copy of it. The next day when the visa is issued they give the Certified Original Copy back and keep the photocopies (Standard photocopy). Does that make sense.

I brought copies and originals. Once I got to the interview I thought I had lost one of the bc copies and she said no problem she would copy them. I did find it in my paperwork but she said lots of people don't bring copies and they will do it.

They did want to see originals or certified copies of everything I gave them though.
