Do I need a birth certificate for my Canadian wife, born in China?

I'm just completing the application for CEC for myself, and I keep reading the documentations required for spouse/common law. My wife already has a Canadian citizen, do I still need these documentations for her? Are these documentations for people who are thinking to bring their wives over with them?

Hi

I'm just completing the application for CEC for myself, and I keep reading the documentations required for spouse/common law. My wife already has a Canadian citizen, do I still need these documentations for her? Are these documentations for people who are thinking to bring their wives over with them?

1. A dumb question? Why are you bothering with CEC when your Canadian spouse can sponsor you?
2. A copy of her citizenship certificate is fine.

When your wife is Canadian Citizen, why do you go for CEC

For simplicity.
Sponsorship takes longer than CEC. CEC has a clear requirements, where sponsorship requires great deal of prrofs.
