Include the birth certificate and any other documents that might be available, even if they are Vietnamese, together with a letter of explanation if none of them have a photo. If you are applying from Vietnam, you'll be submitting it at the embassy/consulate there and you probably won't be the first, so they'll be able to give you more information and assist you with a limited validity passport for your child to come to Canada while the application is being processed. Once in Canada, update your contact information with IRCC.
