You need to send the copy of original birth certificate and a translated copy if it is not in English/French language.

If you use a certified translator from the ATIO, you do not need to get the translator's affidavit.

I called CIC. she said if the email says certified copy of original Birth certificate then notarized it. if it does not say any thing then just send a copy. but my original birth certificate is in Punjabi. In case i have to send it notarized can it be done in Canada or it has to go back to India from where i got the translated copy notarized.

in the mail it says:
