Are work-permit and birth-certificate required documents for EE?

Hi guys,

Can anybody confirm if work-permit and birth certificate are required documents when submitting the express entry application?
I don't see them in the document checklist, just wanted to double check with someone.

Thanks

Birth Certificates is not required

You must scan your passport Bio page, all stamped pages and work permit (and other immigration documents attached to your passport) as one file. Read the instruction of the passport upload

When submitting the PR application, we were not required to provide either. I believe birth certificates are necessary for children, or to prove relationship to a Canadian citizen or PR, but ours were not asked for. We also were not asked for our Canadian student visa/open work permit, I believe because CIC has that information already. My partner, from Slovakia, was asked to make a copy of 1) his national ID, 2) main passport page, and 3) all passport pages with stamps or information on them. I, from the US, had only to submit any identity document with my picture, name, date and place of birth, etc. on it. I used the identity page of my passport, and submitted that only. My work permit is not in my passport, btw, but is a separate document. The same with my partner's study permit.

Requirements may differ depending on whether the applicant comes from a visa waiver country or not.

You didn't have to have your WP stapled into your pasport? Everyone I know from the US, about 20 or so people, had to have it attached in the passport and were specifically warned to make sure you kept your current one in there. The only time one of us didn't have them in the passport is when someone had multiple ones and the immigration agent took out the ones from companies they weren't working at but were still valid, and then went back to the company.
Just curious what type of permit you. Is it a TWP or a different type of work permit?
