I have Original birth certificate in my native language but it does not have my name on it. Instead it has my parents name, DOB and location.

I am not sure if this is a issue or not?

Experts please help.
 
With your name no figuring on the Certificate, it cannot evidence your Birth for sure.
 
Go with an Affidavit instead. Submitting such a Certificate (with no name) will serve no purpose.
 
Name is blank as this was issued by authorities at my birth (Name was not decided maybe)

But it has all other details like both parents name , date of birth, location, and even hospital name.
 
A hospital will issue Certificate after the Birth stating name of the mother and the father with details of the child (weight, male / female etc.) without the name.

But a Birth Certificate issued by the Municipal Authority with no name of the child will hold no legal validity. You will not be able to justify and convince CIC that it is your Birth Certificate.

The requirement is not to evidence your parents' name but to prove your Date of Birth. AN AFFIDAVIT IS THE SAFEST BET.

An affidavit is required since the birth certificate is in the native language NOT because it does not have the name of the person born. Birth Certificates issued by the municipal Authority will never have the name of the person born since the municipal authority issues a birth certificate based on the details provided by the hospital that does not include the name of the person born.
 
Canadavisa07,

I am just trying to understand how will he/she convince CIC that it is his/her Birth Certificate without the name figuring on it ? Just with the parents name ?

CIC also asks for a passport copy that has the name of the parents which is enough to support the applicant's birth as mentioned in the birth certificate.

If they still have doubts, they may ask more documents to validate the birth of the person.
 
Thanks for your suggestions.

Yes my Birth certificate was issued by the Muncipal authority with no name.
I believe this will be the case with many people, ie, with no name.

And that's right passport indicates parents name which matches with BC.

I hope this usually works.
 
All the very best sara007.

Do take note that many on this forum have got their application either rejected or stuck in the process with CIC not convinced with DOB evidence (either with problems in Name in the Birth Certificate, Certificates issued by their respective Consulates not accepted, School records submitted without father's name etc.)
 
Thanks Andy2109.

I will still check, if I can provide any other relevant document to support the BC.

I am not sure if affidavit along with BC make sense or not? I mean Affidavit saying that this BC belongs to me !!

@jaimaldullat - Hi, Can you please let me know how you managed the situation. Did u submit any affidavit? Checking with couple of my friends who got ITA under CEC category I was told that Birth Certificate was not requested for Primary applicant. Can you please confirm?
I do not have my name mentioned in my Birth Certificate and am desperately looking to find an answer.
