I have applied for sponsoring my partents. I don't have a birth certificate, in place of which I have provided my grade 10 school leaving certificate which I had been using all my life to show my date of birth, place of birth etc. I have submitted this document along with a letter of explanation. My question is, Is it okay to submit such a document in lieu of Birth Certificate?

If that is what you have been using all your life, even to get a Passport etc., then, surely go ahead and use it.
Do yourself a favor. In a few areas, they do have or maintain one through the Hospitals or through the City Hall, a set of records and if there are none, based on the records that you currently have, they will say that there are no records available and provide you with a NORMAL one that is valid. In short you will be issued with one based on these facts.
Go ahead and use what you currently have.
Good Luck.

I have used my school leaving certificate in lieu of birth certificate. I called CIC before applying.
They said I have to put all the documents that proves my birth date and a explanation letter along with it.
I did thst some time in august 2008 but i have'nt received any reply them saying file no. etc where as my friends who put at same time got some letters from them..
Confused!!!
