khpark said:I was born in Korea and have the original certificate from there. I'm going to get it translated and approved by the embassy that's in Vancouver downtown. Just in case, CFLRS wants it in English or French. (can't be too careful right?) Also, I sent an email out to CFLRS, although I don't think I won't get a reply any time soon since most or all the staff are out for the holidays. Might as well go ask directly to the place I'll be going to. But thanks for the replies.
Yeah, an 'official' (notarized) translation will do the trick then. Not a chance in hell there's a written policy anywhere saying that we expect an original birth certificate written in one of *our* official languages for a place like Korea. The person you talked to must have misinterpreted the need (if there is one) for an officially translated copy.
