Birth certificates aren't usually required for primary applicants and their spouses.

You only need birth certificates when you need to prove a relationship (to a brother, say), or parentage.

If they need the birth certificate they will ask for it. Generally speaking, they don't need it.

Thanks for your reply.
it means Birth certificate is not a required document while applying for Spouse sponsership as well as while applying Work permit. Am i right?

Yes, that's right. When you start your application you will be given a document checklist and you have to give those documents.

Get the checklists here and see what they say. There are specific requirements based on your country of citizenship etc.
Spouse -> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp
Work Permit (if applying outside Canada)-> https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/apply-work-permit-outside-canada.html

Work Permit (inside Canada) -> https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm5556e.pdf

Why do you care what your birth certificate says if you don't need to submit it? Just ignore the discrepancy since no one is asking for your birth certificate.
