Hello friends,
After 4 years waiting for parents sponsorship, CIC requested to submit all documents and forms again which I did in October, 2014. Now in December, they returned everything that I sent them including the postal cover stating that I need to submit Proof of relationship with parent within 30 days otherwise file will be canceled.
I have been living in Canada for more than 15 years (studentm work permit, immigration & citizen)...all the times, I have been using my birth certificate as proof of relationship with my parents. But now they are not accepting it !!
I dont have any other document that shows my name and my parents name together. Can I get an affidavit showing that these are my parents and submit it ?
Please help as document reached me after 2 weeks so I only have two weeks to send them the document
Thanks a lot

You normally have a Birth Certificate that states that your Parents are So and So...
Get that document NOTARIZED. That is one proof.
The second one is a round about one. Get a Photocopy of each of their Passports, your Father's and your Mother's, Get that notarized as true copies of their PPs. With these and your Notarized copy of Birth Certificate, generate a document here in Canada, I think you are here, and ask the Lawyer to Provide you with an Affidavit and this will nail it to a tee and they cannot refuse any more. Also retain a few extra copies for your files.
Save them.

Thanks Full House.
Problem is parents are not in Canada so cannot notarize their passport. Do you think of any other way around. I am 36 yr old and it is ridiculous to find now that I don't have a legal proof to show relationship with my own parents. Eye opening..

Ask them, I am sure that they are now in India, to get a couple of photocopies of their Passports, each, and get them notarized through a lawyer there. Then, Get them Couriered to you here in Canada. It will land here in a WEEK's time for sure. Then take this to the Lawyer nearby and then work out an AFFIDAVIT mentioning there in that, YOU, so and so, SON OF your Father's Name and Mother's name, whose certified copies of Passports are attached here with, is their (ONE of) their offspring Born on such and such a day, at a place, and STATE, there in India wants to establish the fact that they are your TRUE Parents and you are their son.(ONE OF) and is now sponsoring them to obtain a PR status in Canada...
I am sure the lawyer will generate the same in a legal lingo to their requirements.
Generate a few extra copies and hang onto them.

You will have to courier the same to the Immigration Processing center. Make sure that you provide them a file number and a photocopy of the letter that asks for it. (if you need a copy please get it from India.)
Get the notarized affidavits done from within India itself. I did that and submitted without any issues.
These are the ones I got made:
1. Parents' Marriage affidavit - in addition to the official marriage certificate.
2. Relationship to me.
3. Their individual birth affidavits (as they didn't have the birth certificates).
Submit the above, and you'll be fine.
You can also provide copies of wedding photographs, your wedding invitation which would have their names on it, copy of their registered will, any property document where they may have you as a nominee, copies of their passports, any official communication from your school/college, school leaving of college leaving certificates etc.
Basically, you should provide as much proof as possible that they are your parents.
This is a standard procedure. Don't get hassled. The more documents and proof you provide, the quicker your application will be processed. You can also google - how to prove relationship for immigration etc.
All the best!
Thanks everybody for help.
Getting notarized copy of passport and get affidavit here in Canada sounds good to me. Also found that there are so many different names everywhere with BHAI, KUMAR & LAL written on name so need to straight that part as well.
Now I am thinking, India is so diverse and have many names for the same person Bhai (family), LAL (Friends), Kumar (in-laws). It sounds good but when it comes to legality outside of India, it's equal pain to rectify.
Thanks again for support
