Hi There,

I have my husband birth certificate that is translated into English and attested from notary.
Should I have to submit original of the translated copy or photocopy? I also attached my husband baptism certificate.

Thank You
:)

Both the actual birth certificate and the translation need to be certified copies.

"In relation to immigration in Canada, the CIC defines a traditional certified copy as a copy that has been certified by any of the following professionals:

Professional accountant
Chiropractor
Commissioner of oaths
Dentist
Funeral director
Professional engineer
Justice of the peace or judge
Lawyer
Manager of a financial institution
Medical doctor
Member of parliament
Member of a provincial legislature
Minister of a religion
Postmaster
Primary, secondary or university teacher
Social worker
Veterinarian

The CIC requires that the person certifying your copy not be your family member and also that this person
mark the following on the photocopy:

Their name and signature under the written statement “I certify that this is a true copy of the original document.”
Their official position or title
The name of the original document
The date they certified"
