"Birth certificate or baptismal certificates for yourself and all family members, whether they are accompanying you to Canada or not."

Her parents aren't coming to Canada and they still need to provide birth certificate?

Immigration applicant aside, I think it's also a culture differences.
Once you are married, your parents AREN'T your family member. Your husband/wife and children are.
So if you are invited to bring your family to any party, don't bring your parents.
