(Long Post - But Urgently need advice and help)
Hi,
I am in the process of applying for my wife's spouse visa under family class as an outland application. There is a mismatch between her place of birth on the passport and birth certificate:
Passport - It states that the place of birth is 'Gurgaon, Haryana'
Birth Certificate - It states that the place of birth is 'Delhi'. It was submitted to her school at the time of admission and only received a transfer certificate (Can attach it with the application if required) when she left the school. When she applied for her passport, she used her ID card (Aadhar card) and matriculation certificate (Class Xth certificate) as proof, because of which her passport now states 'Gurgaon, Haryana' as her place of birth. It was a mistake on our part since we failed to check it.
Since the Birth Certificate was never really required until now, we never checked. We are now trying to obtain the Birth Certificate from the local municipal government but that will state 'Delhi' as her place of birth.
Question 1: Do I absolutely have to provide a Birth certificate? I see IMM 5533 has a checkbox for a Birth Certificate.
Question 2: If I submit the Birth Certificate that we are trying to obtain from the local municipal government, how do I justify the difference in place of birth between passport and BC?
Question 3: As per many visa consultants, we don't need to show the birth certificate since I am a Canadian Citizen (I am not completely convinced though).
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
