Hello
arorasaurabh82,
I just got a call from SINP contact office (I had earlier called them up and requested for a callback) and this is what they have to say:
If you do not have a Birth Certificate, then you should be able to provide any of these that clearly states your Name, Date of Birth and your parents name.
1. Education Certificate (preferably secondary education)
2. Any ID Cards (For eg: Voter's ID)
3. Any National ID Cards (For Ex: Aadhar Card in case of Indian Citizen) you may have
Provide any of the above document and attach an explanation letter along with it explaining the reason for not having a Birth Certificate and what you are providing in lieu of that.
My personal opinion, Attach the letter and provide all the documents(not just one) that have the above mentioned information.
About Licensing Requirements:
They were not able to confirm which certification to take, but they are sure that to get one is mandatory.
I think as one of the members here have stated, send a query to
info@cips.ca and ask for guidance. I have sent am email already this afternoon. Will post if I receive anything from them.
I am adding here some additional information,
1. My EOI expires next year in Jan i.e. Jan 2021. They told me that, as long as I have submitted the application (that I'll do in the next 60 days), I don't need to file another EOI.
2. My English results are expiring in Mar 2021 and the same reason is applicable. So I don't need to worry about either of them expiring.
Hope it helps!
