Req # 1A-2023-82229

A list of civil status documents (i.e. birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, death certificates, etc.) that IRCC expects to see from all countries. (To elaborate, we wanted to know what types of documents from each country would satisfy the request for civil status documents, in the context of permanent residence applications. For example, some countries do not issue divorce certificates. In that case, what would be the equivalent that an applicant from that country could submit? We would like to see the different equivalent documents that IRCC accepts from each country.)
