You didn't even think about this document. Your ration card. That old BPL card your parents have in their cupboard back home. The one with your family name, your parents' names, and the family head's details — all in Hindi. Or Marathi. Or Tamil.
IRCC sometimes asks for it — especially if you're applying with family members. They want to verify your family composition. They ask for the document. You send them a photocopy. They reply: "Document not in English or French. Submit certified translation."
Why Ration Card Translations Get Rejected
- Entirely in Regional Language: Ration cards are issued by state civil supplies departments. The text is entirely in the state language — no English version exists.
- Family Head Details in Hindi/Tamil/etc.: Names, ages, relationship to head — all critical for IRCC family verification.
- BPL / APL Category Codes: The category code is often in regional script. IRCC needs to understand your family's economic status if requested.
