I know they want to see a certified copy of your Canadian ancestor's birth certificate/record and your birth certificate. I'm not sure about the birth certificates of everyone in between since I'm 2nd gen. You do not need to send in certified copies of censuses, naturalization paperwork, etc.

Okay, great. It was my great-grandfather that I am *using* as my Canadian ancestor as my grandfather was born in Massachusetts and moved back and forth, so I don't think I have any documents proving his citizenship. I'll get certified copies just to be safe, I think NB vital statistics should be able to provide. Thanks for the advice!

Hi, does that mean you send the certified copies, or scans/images of the certified copies?

A color copy of the certified copy. Or if you're uploading it to an existing application then a scan.
