Settlement Visa: Do I provide Long Form Birth Certificates?

[bunnygirl]

Just wondering, when I apply for my settlement visa along with settlement visas for my children, do I have to include long form birth certificates? Can I include the small birth certificate that my province in Canada has provided? We are including original passports in our supporting documents. Is this enough?

If I need the long form birth certificates, do I just order them for my kids? I have an original marriage certificate to prove my relationship to my husband.

You can use any official birth certificate that shows the details of the mother and father. Does that information appear on the shortiform version?

Is it just my children who will need this? Do I need to provide a long form birth certificate? It provides no evidence of my relationship to my husband.

Only your children need to provide BCs as they are applying on the basis of blood relationship to you rather than marriage to you. You still have not answered the question about whether the shortform version carries the parent's details.

Sorry. No the short form BC doesn't include this.

Sorry. No the short form BC doesn't include this.

in that case you will need to provide the long birth certificates.
