Application returned.. Please help!

Hello Experts,

Our application was returned to us, the reason being the missing Birth Certificate. My wife doesn't have her Birth certificate as it was not issued to her. She hails from Ludhiana (Punjab, India). Though, we did add her 10th Class Marksheet and her Voter ID in our application package. The cover letter says that they need the Birth Certificate for Primary applicant and all family members whether or not they are accompanying her.

My questions:
1) What else documentary proof do we need to produce to solve the aforementioned issue?
2) When CIC says they need Birth Certificate of ALL the family members, does it mean they need documents of my wife's parents and siblings as well?

This is the 2nd time our application is returned, please help!

Did you provide a letter of explanation as to why the birth certificate was not included?

All family members refers only to her children, not her parents and siblings.

Hi. Next time you apply you should write them a letter explaining what is happening. If you clearly state that you are following their instructions as to what to do with the birth certificate, it will move forward without inconveniences. You can even copy and paste the following, which is on their country specific requirements section of the website:

India – Instruction(s) for documents

• Birth certificates issued in this country: If a birth is registered late, include the original baptism certificate and other original documents establishing identity such as:
  • Old school records (Fifth class, Middle standard and Matriculation/secondary school certificate), and
  • Voter's ID card.

+1.

There's no downside to adding an explanatory sheet here and there. If they clearly ask for something and you don't provide it, nor acknowledge that it wasn't an oversight and it deliberately isn't included, then what other conclusion can they reach than incomplete application.
