Thank you for this information. It is helpful though the poll might require rejigging to help people answer. Not sure what the second question in the poll is about. Also do you mean no glue on the front of the photo? I thought the photos were glued to the form..

I am not sure of the alternative, The reason for birth certificate is to prove that you are Canadian Citizen by Birth. You can check with VFS.
