Canadian Birth Certificate for interview?

[Clifford27 11]

Hi everyone,

For the interview it asks for birth certificate.

I have seen people asking what type of birth certificate is needed.

The only one I have is the small paper one, I don't have a long form birth certificate anywhere and have never seen one. My parents have both passed and I am not sure if I would be able to find it if that's what's required.

Fingers crossed someone can confirm that the one I have will be fine.

Nope. Get a copy of the long form from the government. They can be ordered online

I believe it needs to have your parents' names on it for it to be acceptable.

See here for the exact requirements, as it depends on the province

####### how long will that take to get.... I am guessing this means I won't have it for Jan 5 for my interview... Not happy now.... Wish they would say what's require, because that was the birth certificate I sent with my packet 3 and nobody questioned it

You can usually get a 15 day rush it. Call your member of parliament for assistance. However, with the Christmas break you may be out of luck.

Where are you located? I got mine from BC in 3 days and I was in Alberta at the time. I paid extra to have it expedited. I'm sure every province has some sort of expedite for it.

I am located in Ontario.

Looks like there is a premium online service that will allow me 5 days but I don't know of that will work with Christmas and New Years around the corner. I will call first thing tomorrow morning and see what they can do for me. Hopefully it can be done and it doesn't cost a fortune to get it.

Also got mine in less than a week in Québec, regular service.

I suggest you try to get it before your interview as the Montreal consulate usually takes forever to issue the visa when documents are missing.

Fill the form tonight, you'll need a guarantor if I'm not mistaken.

Yes. Clergy, lawyer, doctor, social workers etc. and they also should be aware that they're guarantors

You used to need a guarantor for passports. Generally your doctor fits this bill.
