Hi,
I am looking for some information on how the process is going to be for the below scenario
- I have applied for the PR on 7th of November with my wife's documents [dependent/spouse applicant]
- I have attached the copy of birth certificate of me as I had it, but for my wife she has no DOB certificate from India and I had to get the attested documents done based on the support documents of her education certificates. I attached the copies of the education certificates along with the attested/notarized document and sent it to CIC.
My concern is will this attested [government sealed] document will be accepted as proof of DOB by CIC or not.
Normally if you don't have a BC you can do the following:
- Send High School certificate which has the DOB information
- State in a cover letter reasonable explanation as to why you don't have a BC and what you are submitting in lieu
If you have done that you'll likely be fine. Any additional document like the legal statement from parents etc. or any other proof in addition may build a stronger case.
Frankly, there's nothing more you can do, if the birth was not registered, and I believe CIC officers understand that.
