[quote=ROB04216,340939]Dan, you said you had an affidavit from Canadian consulate, I assume that means a paper stating that you are single, that along with your birth certificate and passport should be all you need. I did not have anything translated here, I didn't even go to nearest Chinese Consulate here. I just went to the American Consulate in Guangzhou, filled out a couple of forms and talked with a consulate officer, I had to swear an oath that I was single, and she then gave me a single certificate. It took a few hours and I had to pay 240 RMB registration fee. That was it, we then flew to Beijing and was married there. After a week of siteseeing we flew to my wife's home and registered our marriage with the Chinese government, that is where I had to have some papers notarized and translated. That was in Oct. 2007, I am still trying to get through the paper work and red tape to get my wife back here to the USA. It has been a long process but I am hopful that she will be here by June. I am interested to find out if the Canadian process of immigration is as long and confusing as it is here in America. Keep me posted on your progress. Rob[/quote]
