Discrepancy in Date of Birth Between Educational Credentials and Birth Certificate – Impact on PR Application?

[samranSpec]

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of filing my PR application with IRCC, and I've encountered an issue that I'm concerned about. There is a discrepancy in my date of birth between my educational credentials and my birth certificate. My birth certificate shows the correct date, but my educational documents have a different date of birth due to an administrative error.

I’ve already had my secondary school certificate notarized to reflect the correct date of birth. Do I need to notarize all my educational documents, or is having just the secondary certificate notarized sufficient? Should I include an explanation letter with my application, or take any other specific steps to address this issue?

Has anyone faced a similar situation, or does anyone have advice on how to handle this? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Which other credentials have the same error? post- secondary?

There is no DOB mention in Master's Transcript but in bachelors transcipt.

I don't understand how it was a mistake twice for 2 different programs and schools I would assume too. I think you should have the documents certified as yours. Because the other option is to have the schools change to the correct birth day.

As I have Birth Certificate, national ID and passport of correct DOB so do I need to notarized all documents in this regard as am in Canada now if I need to change something I need to go back to home country.
