I got our interview letter, and it says to bring the medical form and the affidavit of support. I don't have either of those, because we sent them in. I also don't have any police certificates as my conviction was as a youth and in Canada it's considered "erased" and I have gone as high as I can go and have been told, I do not have access to anything.
So what do I do?

You do not need to bring the things you already submitted, except for originals of copies you submitted (like birth certificate, passport, marriage certificate, etc).

I called the court where it happened and their response is 'we don't do that" I also have to be in person to get the letter I've been told by all of them. I sent my fingerprints to Ottawa for a background check and once they finally called me back 2 months after I kept calling they claim they never got them.. which is the most frustrating thing!!! So I'm at a loss as to what I do. The conviction was as a minor and has been sealed and erased they tell me. The only other charge was "stayed" at age 19. It was uttering threats. The detective requested it be stayed as a quick fix, it's now off my record. I have the sheet that states "charge stayed a PC's request" but that's all they would give me. Do you think I have a chance of being denied due to a conviction as a youth? My marriage is real, we've built a family and my son is in a good school and calls my husband his "second dad", there is nothing about us that is not true and genuine. The only issue I have is the youth conviction and the stayed charge.

Is this document yellow in colour? I remember my PCC for Canada during my K-1 stage was yellow in colour.
