    Thank you! I will get an affidavit just in case. I called CIC today regarding this matter, and they have told me to try to get the birth certificates as much as possible. If not, a LOE supported with an affidavit may be sent but cannot guarantee these will be accepted. So wanted to hear from...

    Both my parents are from India, and they don't have their birth certificates (this is part of country specific requirements). What options do they have in this case? I don't think they can get a new one in the next few weeks unless you have other suggestions (like affidavit in lieu etc.)? Raghav.

    Benin Republic PCC Required

    My father worked in Benin for 2 years and now he works in Nigeria. Based on what IRCC says on its website, it looks like only Benin nationals can apply for PCC. Can I assume then they don't need to apply for Benin PCC? They are currently processing his PR application.

    I received the 'sponsorship approved' letter yesterday.. it has asked for PCC, passport copy (if not already sent), CV. It hasn't specified which countries it needs PCC from.

    I apologize if this came up earlier, but do I need to notarize copy of my PR card as well? I notarized all other copies in India, but assumed we don't need to notarize PR card since it's a Canadian document?
