Hi,
I'm currently organizing all the documents for submitting our outland sponsorship application next week, but have question about country specific requirements:
For India, CIC is saying that if your birth is registered late (which is my case) then they need following original documents:
1. Baptism certificate - My wife didn't get baptised, so we don't have this.
(or)
2. Old school records (Fifth class, Middle standard and Matriculation/secondary school certificate), and Voter's ID card.
for #2:
- I have voter's ID card. - we have this.
- School records:
- Secondary school certificate: We have this.
- Middle standard, let's say 10th class certificate: We have this.
- Fifth class: We don't have any official record for this. But we have old school ID card from fifth class. Will that be accepted by CIC ?
The school where my wife studies fifth class is closed permanently now, so it's impossible to get a school record for 5th class.
Any input from experienced people will be helpful here.
Also: CIC page says we need to submit these documents in original. Will they return this back or to be safe we should notarize and send them?
