Dear All,

I need an urgent guidance on the below.

I submitted my application under CEC on June 20, 2017, and now realized that I forgot to upload the certified photocopy of the original birth certificate in case of my daughter (dependent). Though I have it and got it certified back in April 2017 itself somehow just forgot to attach it with the uploaded doc. Though, I uploaded the following:
  • a copy of the original document (color version)
  • Legal affidavit for the birth certificate
  • the English translation; and
  • an affidavit from the person who completed the translations;
However, my daughter was on study permit in Canada in 2015 and at that time we just provided CIC with
  • a copy of the original document (color version)
  • Legal affidavit for the birth certificate
and no official English translation doc was provided. We got the study permit without any issue.

So, I read some other threads and confused that should I also need to upload missing certified photocopy of the original birth certificate. But, here is the dilemma:

1. if I need to upload it then how ? because there seems to be no way to send an additional doc to CIC after you have submitted your application through the express entry.

I will be highly grateful if someone can please guide me on this further. Need help on an urgent basis !!

It may seem silly, but better to be safe than sorry, I would add it to your application.

You can do that here:

Can you please update on your case? How much time did it take for the additional documents to be uploaded?
