Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a government service?

No. Immigrant Aid Manitoba is a private document-assistance service. We are not affiliated with the Government of Manitoba, the Vital Statistics Branch, or any law firm. We help you prepare and submit your application as your authorized representative.

What is included in the $75 / $110 price?

The price includes both our service fee and the government fee ($30 for regular processing, $65 for rush). There are no hidden charges.

How long does it take?

Processing times are set by the Vital Statistics Branch. Regular processing times vary โ€” check the VSB website for current timelines. Rush processing is completed within 3 business days (shipping time is additional).

Can I get a refund?

No refunds are provided once your application has been submitted to the Vital Statistics Branch. This is consistent with VSB's own policy. However, if your application is rejected, we will help you understand why and attempt to resubmit at no additional charge.

Why do I need to sign a physical document?

The Vital Statistics Branch requires a written (non-digital) signature to authorize a representative to act on your behalf. We need a photo or scan of your handwritten signature on our authorization letter.

Can you help with events that happened outside Manitoba?

No. We only process applications for births, marriages, and deaths that occurred in Manitoba. If your event occurred in another province, you'll need to contact that province's vital statistics office.

Can you help with name changes?

Name changes must be applied for in person at the Vital Statistics Branch office (254 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg). You must be a legal Manitoba resident and present three pieces of government-issued ID. The fee is approximately $125. We cannot process name changes on your behalf.

Is my personal information safe?

Yes. We collect only the information needed to process your application. Payment is handled securely by Stripe โ€” we never see or store your card details. Your signed authorization letter is transmitted securely and used only for the purpose of submitting your application. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

How can I check my application status?

After we submit your application to the Vital Statistics Branch, you can check your order status at the VSB Order Status page or by calling 204-945-3701.

About Us

Immigrant Aid Manitoba is operated by someone with direct experience navigating Manitoba's vital statistics processes. Having seen firsthand how complex and confusing the paperwork can be โ€” especially for newcomers to Canada โ€” this service was created to bridge that gap.

We believe that language barriers and unfamiliar bureaucracy shouldn't prevent anyone from obtaining the documents they need. Whether it's a birth certificate for a passport application, a marriage certificate for immigration paperwork, or a death certificate for settling an estate, we're here to make the process straightforward.

We serve clients in English, Tagalog, Punjabi, Arabic, and other languages. If you need help in a language not listed, get in touch โ€” we'll do our best to accommodate you.
