I’m hoping someone who has gone through something similar can advise. For my PR application (PNP – principal applicant), I submitted my birth certificate, which is an old handwritten document (shown here: https://www.scribd.com/document/518144732/001).

I’m an Indian citizen but spent most of my life in the UAE, so I had the certificate notarized and attested in the UAE. The final document includes the original handwritten page plus an additional page with all the stamps. Because the certificate is not typed, I’m unsure whether this notarized/attested version will be considered acceptable.

If IRCC finds this insufficient, what are the chances of reconsideration? Has anyone had a similar experience with an old handwritten birth certificate?

Thank you
