I am still having troubles. The thing is that in peru, even the websites give the wrong information. When i was trying to get a student visa last year I got all the documents that they said I would require on the website, but when I got to immigration they told me I needed a bunch of other papers. I ended up going to immigration 3 times because the next time I went they said I was now missing something ELSE (that they failed to inform me about the FIRST time around).
Ok it says I need a birth certificate. It must be an original but it say something about being RECENT. I was born in Sask. and there are different options here http://www.isc.ca/adx/asp/adxGetMedia.asp?DocID=2103,13,1,Documents&MediaID=3915&Filename=Application+for+a+Birth+Certificate+-+2009+01+07.pdf
I can order a "Certified Copy of the Original Registration" or I can get a GENEALOGICAL PHOTOCOPY or else a Birth Certificate itself. I am thrown off by them since they said an Original but it must be recent because it also says that they do not accept photo copies, legalized notaries of them. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? And more importantly, What type of certificate to do I need to order?
Also, is there a consulate of Peru in Vancouver?
This all seems so stressful!
