New Zealander applying for Proof of Citizenship - quick question!

Warm greetings from New Zealand! My brother and I are assembling documents to apply for Canadian PoC.

  • Our grandfather was born in Quebec in 1944. He emigrated to New Zealand in the early 60s - our mother was born in NZ in 1972 (to him and our New Zealander grandmother).
  • Our mother obtained her Certificate of Canadian Citizenship in 1996.

We have proof that both our mother and grandfather are Canadian citizens (certificate and passport respectively). We also have both our birth certificates. However, we do not have our mother's birth certificate (i.e. explicitly proving the parental relationship).

Is this a deal breaker for our application?

Many thanks and a revoir!
