I give up. Have already explained several times what a certified copy is. YOu're concentrating on the wrong thing.

You need an original of something before being able to send a certified copy. You need a service record. Figure that out first.
when you say service record is that something that include just discharge letter from service and duration or that also include all of his duty stations and commanding officers and roles and responsibilities ?

Do you have a discharge letter? Can you get anything more detailed and official?

If the answers are yes and no repsectively - send that. If you can get something more - try to get that.

Again, if you specify what country (military), there is a possibility someone here may be able to assist.

the military discharge letter is a just information about the person that he worked from this to this date and now he is discharge and will take benefits thats it.

they have a form that i already sent them with his each duty station and other information i am not also sure what does that certified copies means,
OK. From some of the wordings.. Let me try to assume it's US millitary records. If so, it's DD form 214.

Only next of kin or the veteran himself can request it.

So once you get this record, you need to find a place to get a certified copy of it and send that to IRCC.

My frustration levels went through the roof while reading this thread. I swear it could've been solved in just two messages if @navaabali responded properly.
Why don't you share as much of the relevant text as you can here? Remove personal details of course.
Again, please provide the exact text.
Again, I strongly suggest you put the exact text of the request and name the country involved.
I give up.
This last one summarizes everything:p

Q2: What is the meaning of PA? (I'm from israel and mexico, served only in israel)

Thank you in advance!

Hello Guys,

Please help.. My father served in Indian Military

While applying for PGP 2023 i filled the form IMM 5546 E : Details of military service

Now CIC requested me to submit :-

Military Records: A certified copy of Military records (Military Table). If you were exempt, please
provide official proof of military exemption from the relevant authority. This must be received at this
office by: 2024/08/24

My question is do i have to fill the same form again and send it to CIC or this is a different document.

( I called CIC as well the agent told me to send the same form but i am confused because the form number is not mentioned and they are asking for certified copy )

Thanks

Hi what’s then happened if you just reply because I am facing similar thing when applied for visitor visa extension from Canada. My dad is not carrying any original discharge certificates or any military record documents as he retired on 1982 which is 42 yrs back so am having no clue what to reply apart from filling up 5546e.
So kindly reply if possible
