Has anyone else recently married in Ontario and not recieved their marriage certificate back in the mail from Thunder Bay?? My fiance and I married at the end of January and sent the license complete with signatures and along with a letter from a lawyer saying that we needed the certificate back fast as it was for immigration purposes. Well... it's now almost April and we still don't have are certificate and we need it to file the I-130. Is anyone else experiencing this delay? Can anyone shed any light on the situation? Thanks!

Try this website, maybe you can find out some information online. If not I am sure there is a phone number to call to follow up because it seems like a long time to wait.

Call your MPP's office and have them get on it for you. Ontario is notoriously slow at issuing marriage and birth certificates. The MPPs office staff have special contacts they can use to help you out.

It took me 3 months to get mine out of Ontario. Their website at the time said the certificate would not be available for at least 16 weeks after the certificate was filed by the officiant.

I had the same p[roblem so i filed with the part that you have with the signatures on it and then they are going to send you a request for evidenc after they start the process which at least it will be in processing. By then i had the part from the province to send in and sent it in and was back on scedule within a week. Hope that helps a little!

As Kathryn said, go to your MPP. We used our MPP to have our son's birth certificate expedited and it took three weeks, WAAAAAAAAY faster then the timeline posted on the website.

Thanks for all the help! I think I will be contacting my MPP

Whoa. That's just craziness.
