as a rule a birth certificate as a mandatory document. The guide says that they might consider other documents instead of this one as long as the reasoning is genuine and possible. I have just read that it's not that common to have a birth certificate in India. I do find it somewhat strange, but... If that's the case, then maybe (and only maybe) they may consider the application without the birth certificate. But I would call CIC and ask.
Canadian Immigration Questions and Answers with Attorney David Cohen

Question: I am an Indian national. I do not have a birth certificate, because there were no provisions for this at the time of my birth. What sort of documentation can I provide to satisfy immigration authorities in lieu of a birth certificate?

Answer: Citizenship and Immigration Canada will accept secondary, matriculation, or school leaving certificates as proof of birth. This is provided they have the following: your full name, your date of birth, and the name of your mother, father, or both.

This is unofficial info!
There are many clients of that attorney facing problems with BC. Until you provide Affidavit or other supporting document for absence of BC, your application may be considered as incomplete.
Keep in mind also that this quote is from june 2012.

@Indian fellow applicants on Birth Certificate:

Just logged in and read few posts before going to sleep, thought to post a reply.

What I think is, it's up to the VO OR the person that is checking the application completeness to pass / fail the applicant. The issue is, most of you say that you do not have Birth Certificates before certain years [I know as Pakistan had the same shitty system at that time, but somehow, they managed to setup a system (for once :D), to register the Birth by showing Passport AND/OR Matric Certificate along with parents identity and a government organization that regulates local identification cards will officially generate a Computerized Birth Certificate in English and National language on the same page], but, few of you will argue too that we obtained the BC by etc etc way.

Now the issue comes here, when many Indian applications reaches at CIO and they find few of them having BCs while the rest are sending supporting evidence, they get confuse on which one to believe [Matric & Passports might have been accepted IF all of Indian applicants send it without adding BCs and explaining the situation]. Now the decision is at VO's discretion.


P.S. on a lighter note, VO's at Local VO & at CIO know the issues different countries face regarding documentations, so they exactly know if someone is saying that by xyz reason, I was not able to send it. This knowledge comes handy in above situations ;)

Just my 50 cents ;D

Harry2k4 - All the best. I am sure you have double checked everything. Also, did you include the original IELTS score? - If IDP or British Council has sent provided only one original score sheet, I see that as the only hitch in overlapping the package receiving and sending action.

Again, good luck and God speed with the application :)

Hello ppl,

My situation: I sent my package for fsw noc 2174 to ns po box address for fsw.
my usps tracking num shows that the package was delivered on 06/27. But I haven't got any confirmation from cic in any form that they have received my application. How long does it normally take to get confirmation?

Thanks for your help!
