Yeah, the original certificate is with my mother back home. I want to leave a copy in Canada, and now I can have one out here with me as well. In hindsight, I should have ordered another copy long ago, but you don't always think of these kinds of things until your hand is forced.

So I've decided to just go ahead and lodge the application, with the black and white birth certificate copy. As a precautionary measure, I've placed an order for a new one to be sent to me which will take a minimum of three months. It's taking a million months to process applications at this point anyways, so it's not a big deal; I can just attached the new copy later on if need be. It is what it is. It will work out one way or another, it will just take longer to achieve.

The new certificate are made of plastic, and have light pastel colours. It is clear in some spaces. I had to get a new one several years ago because my original copy was destroyed. I could try and just submit the black and white one and see what they say whilst trying to get my hands on another copy. Ugh, so painful.

Not in this country no. And it's a huge time-consuming pain to get an original..............like months to a year painful.

So I'm taking the plunge and finally applying. Just one little roadblock might cause me some distress. I have a copy of my birth certificate that I used when I applied for PR, and it was in black and white, and was accepted. However now they are saying that it must be in colour. The issue is that for me to try and get a colour copy will be an absolute nightmare. I'm wondering if anyone has been in this situation and tried to submit a black and white copy and if it was accepted or shot down. Any advice would be appreciated in helping me decide if I should take a shot or not.

Yes, I am well educated on it's purpose, thanks. You simply misunderstood the context of my comment.

When did you sell your wealth? Before you were actually invited? If so, I'd say that was a bit premature considering there could have been a plethora of reasons that you may have been rejected, let alone a global pandemic. This is a situation where you will simply have to tough it out and hope for the best. Immigration is never a guarantee and people shouldn't gamble their lives and money away unless they are certain they will be migrating.

And your point being?

I don't see how people can be upset with this (unless you are wanting to apply but haven't done so yet). Countries around the world should be prioritising the residents they currently have for job prospects before taking in any new immigrants. How can that be argued by anyone during these times?

Canada too. We have no backbone and are letting people in that shouldn't be let in.

Are you sure about that? I was explicitly warned about applying for and being granted another Australian visa whilst I'm on my PR, that the new visa would cancel the PR and that I would lose all my PR priviledges.

What does that have to do with anything?

I know you didn't but instigating left-wing people hide behind the BLM movement in order to create the illusion that this was somehow a racist act, which it was not. They don't want to hear the truth because it doesn't fit into their agenda.
