[CSQ]Please help with a question regarding additional documents required

[zb134]

I applied for the CSQ a while back, today I got an email asking me to send some additional/missing documents.
My question is in regard to the birth certificate, I do have my original birth certificate from India and I had supplied a certified photocopy
However I got the following by email:

DOCUMENTS STATUTAIRES
· L'original OU Copie certifiée conforme à l'original de votre acte de naissance. Vous devez nous fournir ce document dans sa langue d'origine. Si vous n'envoyez pas l'original, la copie de votre acte de naissance doit être obligatoirement certifiée conforme par l'autorité légale nationale, régionale ou municipale responsable de tenir les registres de l'état civil (sceau et signature originaux). Pas de photocopies.
· Vous devez également nous fournir l'original de la traduction de votre acte de naissance. Pour faire traduire vos documents au Québec, consultez le répertoire des membres de l'Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec dans le site ottiaq

I live in Montreal and looked through the Indian high commission website and saw that I could get a Certificate of Date of Birth through VFS; however the High Commission specifically mentions that this is not the same as 'Birth Certificate'.


So I am wondering if anyone has been through this before and have some advice?

Thanks!

Call them and Ask! Or make sure that your copy is stamped AND signed by a government authority.

Is the birth certificate written in English or French? If not, did you provide a translation for your document in either English or French?
