Document checklist shows that I have to produce "Birth Certificate".,.,., I have a Birth Certificate that Consist of URDU and ENGLISH language, I mean to say one side of the Birth Certificate shows English and the other side shows the same thing in URDU language.

so whatever the information is written in URDU language, same thing is translated into English language and it is an official document that is issued by the Health Department.,., Do I need any kind of affidavit that is attested by certified translator?

regards,

Saudagar

Hello,

Thanks for your quick reply. I am sorry I did not mention that I am a Canadian Experience Class Applicant and recently received an ITA. My brother is Canadian Citizen and I have got a sibling points so they ask me to proof the relationship that is the reason I am providing birth certificate because it shows our parents name, and I already mentioned that an official document is in both language.

"Can I use my certificate?"

Thanks,

Amar

I am an inland applicant. My daughter's birth cert is in Tamil and I did an affidavit with a local advocate in 2016, is it valid till now, since I need to use it for my ITA now. Or should I need to get a new translation in Canada?
