Hey guys,

I am planning to apply for citizenship for myself and my daughter (minor under 18) soon. Have few questions, was wondering if someone here could please advise. We landed in Canada in May 2018:

  • For my daughter’s identification documents: I am thinking of submitting her Passport (all pages), health card (does not have her picture on it) and school records. Will this suffice? Also, what exactly do they mean by school records – which exact school document and where can I find it?
  • For my daughter, they also need a photocopy of her birth certificate. However, her birth certificate is not in English/French. I guess what need for such documents is English translation ( from a certified translator ) and a certified copy of the original document. Can someone advise, from where can I find such certified translator approved by CIC ? Also, certified copy of original document means I will have to get a copy of original birth certificate notarized which is in a language other than English / French. Would notary here notarize such documents in a different language? How does this work? And I will have to send in the original translation or a copy of the translation done by certified translator?
  • Since we arrived in Canada in May 2018, we haven’t travelled outside of Canada. Do we need to provide a PCC ? I had provided PCC at the time of my PR application.
Thank you in advance :)

For Personal Identification document of your daughter, the biographical pages of her Passport & Health card will be more than enough & no need to provide school records.

Refer below website for Certified translator in your province,

No you don't need to provide PCC if you haven’t travelled outside of Canada

Thank you for your reply. Could you please advise where where and how can I check/confirm about no PCC required ?

You may refer below statement from the article posted here, https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-0002-application-canadian-citizenship-under-subsection-5-1-adults-18-years-older.html

You don’t need to provide a police certificate if

  • you were in your country of origin immediately prior to becoming a permanent resident and landing in Canada, and
  • this time falls within the past 4 years
If the above statement matches your condition then you don't need to provide PCC.
