[@singhksingh]

Hi suyash, should we upload translted documnts together like one pdf or seperate. And if i translated first 5 pges so should i need to tell oficer that i just translated 5 pges

[@Christyxx1]

hi there , I just had a quick question , I am using the method of exporting the chats from WhatsApp but the chat does not export images within the chat. Should I include tho or just the chat text alone ?

[@elhoss1986]

First of all thank you so much for this! I have a question in regards to the length of this proof of contact: do we need to cover the time span of when the couple is living separately or just upload anything you have? In other words, what is the requirement? To cover the gap after the marriage when the couple is living apart, or we need to show the whole thing since we started dating?

[@anjaliveer5338]

hi Suyash , i have applied for pr application in July AOR is pending , my husband is in canada now my husband wants to change his adress should we do it now or later ?? is it going to affect on my application

[@felemaejunedionero2319]

[@jonalynrelente2121]

Hi. Does the contact conversation need to translate in english what ever your conversation in the chat?

[@nr5093]

Thanks for the detailed explanations. its been very helpful. How did you include whatsapp call logs for proof?

[@HitSubmitCanada]

I didn't, i just provided the chats

[@bazookaeyes635]

You may take a screenshot of all the calls videos logs and use them them for proof

[@gargiopt9042]

This is right but website is saying you can only out 10 pages, how we can justify

[@dianea4896]

Question What would you do for voice notes?

[@ripulvij7968]

I am thinking out loud - One way to avoid using translator can be to include only those whatsapp/fb/insta screenshots where your conversation was in English. It is going to take time to find that whole conversation in one screen fit but this can save time and will serve both the requirements.

[@bhamaakib6751]

Hi Suyash , I have just filled the all imm forms for my spouse I’m confused about what should I have to do next ?? TIA

[@GreenIguanaQi]

Thank you so much for the videos. In regards to this video, printing as a pdf from the facebook messenger "html file" to a pdf causes a specific formatting problem in the pdf. If there are any photos in the messages, the photos will sometimes cover over portions of text. If you have any tips to fix this, I would be so happy to know. Thank you.

[@HitSubmitCanada]

As long as the text is clearly visible for the majority of the conversation, minor formatting issues should be OK. Even my chats with my wife had some formatting issues for Facebook. I just submitted them as is. I also had Instagram and WhatsApp chats in good shape so my Facebook formatting issues were not given that much priority. If you absolutely want to fix the issue then you can research the issue on some Adobe reader forums where people have posted solutions. In my opinion, save yourself the time of adjusting the formatting right now. Focus on procuring official/government documents, filling out the forms correctly and completely and making sure that your application is strong Once you have all the information and documents ready, and you think you can spare some time then you can look into the issue otherwise you can just submit as is

[@GurpreetKaur-rd4hf]

Hii....if we have chat history from last 3 years and tht is unable to export due to large file with media files then wht method we hv to choose ?

[@nkafunjiju6770]

Hello Navreet, I hope you're doing well. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude for the video you provided. It was incredibly helpful. I wanted to reach out because there's been a recent development regarding my sponsorship application for my spouse. Her fingerprint request has just come in, coinciding with the joyful arrival of our newborn. I'm eager to ensure that our newest family member is included in her application. Could you kindly advise me on which document I should fill out to add our newborn to her application? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

[@lastword8783]

What if you translate some of the chats but not all of them? Just want to make sure I dont incur a large translation cost if I for example ask for 20 pages of text msgs to be translated

[@macaREU8]

I thought there’s only a 10-page limit for the proof of contact? You did not get any issues with your 47-page fb conversation file?

[@mahabubkhan6316]

Hi Suyash, Thanks for sharing all the valuable info, I have a question so for the Facebook messenger is that okay if I don't want to submit the whole HTML file instead I copy/paste the chats to a word document and then share only the chats I am comfortable to share? Please let me know. Thanks!

[@HitSubmitCanada]

Yes, submit only what you want to, as long as you can show a somewhat consistent contact

[@cassidyireland8611]

We both live in Canada atm, he is here on a 2 year work visa. When we have to provide proof of contact, would this be from the early stages of our relationship? I assume we still need to include this even though he is in Canada?

[@MsHetvishah]

Hello sir, I must say your videos are excellent and they are so well explained that we don't have any confusion. Your videos are helping us a lot with the preparation we have to do for our PR file. Also if you please kindly help me out with one of my doubts i.e., As you know it is obvious we have good chats along with embarrassing talks and sometimes fight chats as well. So is there a possibility Could we erase that chat line or part of that chat from the word file which we exported from WhatsApp or it has to be mandatorily added? Kindly help us by clearing our doubts, it would mean a lot to us. Thanking you for your help. Have a good day.

[@HitSubmitCanada]

You are free to choose whatever chat you want to upload and show to them. As long as the chat proves a decent sense of contact, you should be fine

[@crysneedspeace]

OhMyGoodness I was literally questioning the same thing!

[@Sarah-jc8nu]

Can I print on both sides of the paper or not ?? I need to upload chat history and pictures as proof of relationship for the family immigration visa application.

[@sonamdakpa2189]

It's says Mexican 10 pages so can we upload more than 10 pages?

[@Flower-wh4oi]

How much time does it take after submitting?

[@joeljoshua3745]

can I translate the chats by myself and then notarize it? or should someone else do it?

[@agabal.bagura7639]

I like your detailed explanations of filling the IRCC forms. I'm having trouble with inland PR application. I'm in Canada under prtected person status now applying for PR status together with my children who are outside of canada. But I'm facing challenges of my application being returned to me. They feedback I got is the information provided doesn't match😢 I wish you can make video inline with my condition?

[@denizecuff2522]

The WhatsApp chat that is being downloaded to Google docs does not confirm the phone numbers being used during the conversation, how will USCIS know who is in the chat if only the messages with no identifying phone number is being shown?

[@sukhpreetkaur700]

Hey dear , I am in canada and my boyfriend,he is currently in India , he is preparing for coming to Canada on visitor visa basis. I want to sponsor him . But the main problem is that we have a chat history of only a month ago. Is it possible to get positive response from that or we should wait

[@nytrowgen2889]

Hello, Thank you for this amazing tutorial, but one question, what about those explict conversation and pictures we sent to each other, can I delete those? and if yes, how

[@HitSubmitCanada]

absolutely you don’t have to provide those. select what you want and cover a decent duration. you should be fine

[@nytrowgen2889]

@@HitSubmitCanada Hey Suyash, Thank you so much for responding. We lived together for 2 years and I just wanna clarify that they only want the part when she moved back to Canada and Me back to my home country right, Not the whole entire conversation. Just the part where we separated ways and still in touch with each other? Or the whole timeline where we met up until now

[@HitSubmitCanada]

for the times that you were living together, you can skip chats and focus on other cohabitation documents instead. But even if you were to include chats from those times when you were living together, you are fine(it will just take more space). Use your best judgement. I have shown in the video how I would approach it

[@taraneh_34]

I have a question. Are all these messages, and emails and translations of “proof of contact” merged into one PDF and uploaded or whatsapp separately, emails seperately and translations also separately?

[@HitSubmitCanada]

originals can be merged into one. But better to keep translations separate.

[@Sunnysingh-qs1sy]

Are chat screenshots necessary for a couple married for more than 3 years ?

[@Agentzero200077]

How do you upload pictures in photo template

[@batoolamiree5074]

Please try and answer this! If I was in contact with my husband long distance for 2 years, but I've only been apart from him for a month since our wedding, do I submit proof of contact for 2 years, or the one month?

[@HitSubmitCanada]

submit before and after both showing consistent contact. You dont need to submit it all. take only chats that you want to share. details are explained in the video

[@wasimraj9941]

Hi Suyash i would like to know if you have submitted the application with hand signed documents and not digitally signed will this result in refusal as the instructions have changed? Can anyone pls clarify. Thank you!

[@HitSubmitCanada]

Can't say at this point as the changes have just been announced. And some forms have not been updated to allow digital signatures. if your forms are clear and complete, then hand signatures will likely not cause a rejection in my opinion

[@frederickhetu5535]

We have 3 years of chat on WhatsApp.... When I export the chat WhatsApp has a limit that in our case doesn't cover more than just the last few weeks. We can't go back further in time to get older chats 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️
