I remember having to provide my birth certificate for my PR (or PNP) application a few years back, and had to get it translated and notarized. That was a painful process that took more than 2 weeks.

Would I need to provide this information again? I understand the new list of required documents are not out yet, but I didn't see any reference to birth certificates in the current list. I just wanted to be sure that I don't provide more than is required by having to find a translator service again...
