Birth Certificate issues with PR application

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I think I am having a bit of trouble, so I really hope that someone with similar experience could tell me what I should do in this regard.

Recently I've been preparing for my PR application. I am facing a problem with my birth certificate.

I was born in China in 1996, and moved to another country with my family when I was very small. In 2018, I realized that my original birth certificate was lost, so I reapplied for one. Then, a few days back I found a typo on my newly-issued birth certificate regarding my parents' information: my mom's national ID was printed wrongly. Other than that, nothing else is wrong.

Would this typo affect anything concerning my PR application? Does national ID of parents matter? I'm asking this because I don't find any application forms requiring my parents' national ID nor anything like that.

Thanks for going through my thread. Merry Christmas!

I don’t think it really matters, so long as your name, DOB, place of birth, and your parents names are correct.

As your parents moved to another country, they must have ID numbers from the new country, right? If that’s the case, they may never use the old Chinese IDs when filling out any IRCC forms in the future (for example, when you sponsor your parents after getting PR).
