Thanks RBO. I will call CIC to confirm about the DoB certificate.

RBO,

I got affidavit and notarized copy of birth certificate of my parents. Also, I have paid fees ($980) online.

Any idea about whose name/DOB should be on payment receipt? (I believe it should be mine but would like to confirm it.)

What should be client ID on receipt? is it okay to keep this field blank?

Thanks,

My parents are in India. I had submitted my forms and documents in first week of December. I received response in regulare mail yesterday. They sent whole application back to me.

I have called CIC today and representative inform me that CIC is looking for my parents birth certificates only and there is no alternative documents for birth certificate. If you are not able to get birth certificates, you need to get a letter from local agency who is responsible for issuing birth certificate. Letter should clearly indicate that you are
not able to receive birth certificate. He asked me to send this letter and documents to the CIC to reconsider your case again.

When I asked for more time, he mentioned that you can send request letter to CIC and they will help you for extending time line.

#7 is for proof of relationship with sponsor in Canada. My parent's birth certificate doesn't prove it. Also, I had attached shcool leaving certificates and passport copy which includes their birth information. I am not sure what kind of information they are looking into birth certificate. Also, I had used my school leaving certificate for my PR application before 6 years.

I am sure I am not alone whose parent doesn't have birth certificate and I am sure many file already accpted by CIC without parent's birth certificate. I am not happy with answer from CIC call center.

I am planning to send application back to CIC with explanation. What do you think guys? Any alternative?

Thanks

Even i don't have birth certificate for my parents, but i did notarized affidavit for both of them for birth certificate and looks like it works for me..

As you mentioned that CIC agent told you to provide letter from local agency that means may you can get letter from your local municipality which indicate that they don't found a record for your parents and that letter may you can provide to CIC for reconsider the case.

just 2 cents from myside......

all the best
