I have seen in the common checklist that birth certificate is mandatory for PR application, however I cannot see any area to upload birth certificate in Express Entry application 'Document Checklist Upload' area.

Are they going to ask for birth certificate later ?

Use a pdf merge application and merge it with your National ID Document and Passport Bio-data page, then upload it in the "Identity Document" section.

Does all docs should be in pdf format..and can i use '' camscanner '' application for uploading all docs..?
Like for passport ,bankstatement, my experience letter,ECA report,IELTS result...
1) click the photo from mobile( i know it must be clearly visible after uploading)
2) open with cam scanner .....scan it and upload it as pdf format
Is this all required?
Thanks

If you think its is as clearly visible as a scan from the scanner then you are good to go; usually camera pictures are blurry and aren't comparable with the scan of a scanner!

and yes all the uploaded documents must be in PDF format
