Photocopy of Original should be certified as per CIC gidelines and to be in the safe side submit your 10th pass certificate with a cover letter for supporting docs.

Original doce is not required to be submitted...

Never send originals if not asked!! Because, those documents will not be returned in the future. Send a photocopy of the birth certificate and certified translation as per the cic checklist. If you are still worried, get the photocopy of your birth certificate notarized, though its not required.
