Hello,
Per my understanding from this forum, people who don't have Birth certificates had tried differ options : Affidavit along with passport copies, 10th certificate, Certificate of DOB from Indian counslate etc. Many lucky members got it approved with these documents..But, for some unlucky members, CIC rejected the application...looks like it all depends on the Visa officer. If you can get your birth certificate, then that's what is required. If not, you have try your chances with whatever documents you have with you right now. That's how I applied since I don't have birth certificate either. I just applied, so don't know the result yet. You can also search the discussion threads in this forum for suggestions. Thx, IMMI
