what if there is no birth certificate provision?
Dear all,
I come from a developing country. Currently, I am studying in the US. I applied to immigrate to Canada in September, 2001. When I was born, there was not any system of birth certificate in my country. It started several years later. I have submitted the birth certificate of my son as it could be available for him. For myself and my wife, I just swore in a separate sheet of paper that there was no system of birth certificate in my country at the time of our birth and so we cannot produce birth certificate. I mentioned that the birth date mentioned in my passport and educational certificates is the true birth certificate. Would it be sufficient in my context? Or I have to do something ? I would appreciate the attention of the experts. |

Substitute documentation such as those you refer to are commonly accepted from certain countries in which it is known that birth certificates are not available. From India for example, Secondary School Matriculation certificates are a common substitute. ________ CAMPBELL, COHEN - attorneys at law tel:514.937.9445 / fax:514.937.2618 [email protected] http://canadavisa.com Online Community: http://canadavisa.com/community |

Often there are other documents that can be accepted as proof of your date of birth.
School certificates, baptismal or other religious certs, marriage certs, voter's cards, national id cards.... If you can't get any of these it may be useful to obtain evidence from your government that the records are not available. You may also be able to late register. In the end, any document, affidavit or otherwise, is always more trustworthy when it predates your intention to migrate. -- All responses IMHO and no one else's.

Re: what if there is no birth certificate provision?
hello Is there a documented list of equivalent documents? eg. I am from India and
have always used my Matriculation certificate as proof of age in india. similarly I have transcripts of all degrees - which I collected just after completing each degree - would that do or would i have to go and apply again from each university I studied in.

Re: what if there is no birth certificate provision?
I am quite sure that the list will be different for each visa post since
documentation will vary from country to country. You can be sure that the earliest and most reliable piece of documentation should be acceptable. In India for example, the School Leaving Certificate is usually a good indication of what your date of birth is and in some states what your father's name is. -- All responses IMHO and no one else's.
