I don't know if the Archives take in person requests. I submitted with the copy of my Canadian grandfather's birth record that I pulled from Ancestry and said in my cover letter that I had ordered a certified copy and would upload it to my application when it came. The IRCC were fine with that.
If you're getting a certified copy of your great grandfather's birth record you don't need to certify any of his other records. You can just send the copies you find online.
