In genearl, birth certificates are NOT mandatory documents (only mandatory for children). This thread started in 2012. Rules have changed MANY times since then. You can see the current list of required document here:Hi All,
My husband and I are trying for Canada PR through Express Entry program. We are in India. While arranging for the documents, we came across that Birth Certificate is a mandatory document. In my husband's Birth certificate, his mother's surname is mentioned incorrect. So is there any other document that can be submitted without facing a rejection.

There are certain situations where a birth certificate may be required. But most applicants do not need them.
