Does my Birth Certificate look "Normal"

[L_n_O 3]

Ok, this is the only birth certificate I've ever had.. the original's in colour.

I just scanned this quickly to get your comments..

tell me someone here has a ghetto one too!!!

Tell me they'll accept it at the interview!

I have nothing more to give! no first born! no slaughtered pig, nothing!!

Ummm what?

Are you asking if you're going to have a problem with it? I'm confused.

[L_n_O 3]

yes

No I think this is an un-official poll and liz is looking for reassurance that other people have ghetto b/c's like hers.

Should have done a poll Liz!

Edit: umm no, sure, ahh doesn't look bad at all

a poll?!

for all the world to see my BC??

no thank you!!

I don't want everyone looking in my drawers! just you canadians!

[sarah and hicham 3]

yes

With your interview?

I think as long as it's an official birth certificate and it's got the seal then you're fine. If you're worried you can get another one I guess. Haven't you already sent it with your other immigration papers?

[L_n_O 3]

I didn't have to send my BC with the K1 petition.

I just have to have it for the interview.

It's got a seal

so I guess i'm ok

I've already asked Oman (the country I was born in) about getting one months ago and it's way complicated.... and it didn't seem worth all the hoops to go through to get another birth certificate when I already have the one my parents were given 23 years ago!

I think it will be fine. I think having the original is a good thing. I've never seen one like that!

Oh! I thought you were just throwing that out there for fun. I forgot they haven't seen yours yet, that you have to take it to the interview! Oh for that it looks just dandy to me!

Here's the email the guy sent me about how I go about getting a replacement

lizelle you need to first send the scanned copy to the Royal Oman Police and ask for a

new duplicate certificate.then send it to Ministry of Ext affairs of oman and

get it attested with a $5rials stamp then spend $4rials and get it attested

by the indian embassy in Muscat, Oman, then it will become a valid document.

You know what Oliver had to do to get another birth certificate?

He went on a website, filled out some personal info, paid a flat fee, and got it in the mail 2 weeks

ya.. mine: not that easy!

My turn to reassure you! My father in law's birth certificate looked pretty similar to that as well. Very ghetto, but just like yours, it had the seal. That's all that matters, I'm pretty sure. NVC accepted his already, so if is passed, I'm sure yours is fine too.

Don't sweat it!

Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates

Births, marrriages, and deaths are registered in the Canadian provinces or territory in which they took place. Though each province or territory issues its own certificates for these events, there are a few basic formats for them across Canada:

• The "small" or "short form" certificate is a computer-printed, limited extract of information from provincial records. It is a wallet-sized card, 9.5 x 6.4 cm or 2.5 x 3.75in (Speciman from British Columbia). Short-form or small certificates are not acceptable for visa purposes because they do not contain enough identification information, such as parents' names.

• The "large" or "full-size" certificate is a computer-printed extract of information from provincial records. It is printed on currency-style paper stock, 21.6 x 17.8 cm or 7 x 8.25 in., with an intaglio border (Speciman from British Columbia).
