Hello, everyone:
Could someone give me advice on two questions related to the forms:
1. IMM 0008 Generic application - the last question on page 2 asks if the PR applicant has a national identity document. Would a birth certificate or baptism certificate qualify in this category? I'm not sure because my husband is Indian but his birth and baptism certificates were issued by institutions in Kuwait, where he was born. Since both certificates were issued by non-Indian authorities, would they qualify as "national identity documents"? If not, is there anything else he could submit instead - a copy of his voter's card or driver's license perhaps?
2. IMM 5490 Sponsored spouse questionnaire - question 8 asks if the PR applicant has family in Canada, and if so, to list their names and addresses. Is it considered necessary or useful to include proof of the relatives' status in Canada - PR card, citizenship card or passport copy?
Thanks very much in advance.

- I do not remember exactly, but I think we put license number.

- Yes. it is not mandatory, but including them won't hurt for sure. I would enclose a copy just to be on safe side.
I believe you know what "family" means for Canadian immigration purpose.
