FSW requirements are not the same as EE requirements. For FSW requirement (excluding EE), your LMIA job offer has to be full-time, permanent and non-seasonal. FSW requirement (excluding EE) counts your current and previous work experience during your full-time studies. However, EE alone does not count your current and previous work experience during your full-time studies. EE is for points only, if your LMIA is full-time, permanent, and non-seasonal, you get an additional 600 points to get ITA.
I don't think they'll reject you because you don't have a birth certificate. You can upload whatever you have and explain your situation with a Letter of Explanation.
Yes, I think an explanation will help. If you are still worried, you may even take an affidavit of oath to declare the truthfulness of your testimony (i.e., no birth cert issued at birth + veracity of the birth cert from Indian consulate).
Yeah weird thing there is no slot where we can upload birth certificates. I was surprised at first when i found out that birth certificates are not required.

Birth certificates are only required when trying to prove relationship with relative in Canada. If you have not claimed points for having relatives in Canada, you wont need to upload birth certificate.
Can anyone confirm that they have been successful by stating "no" in spouse work experience, and then mentioning all the foreign work exp in personal history?
It might be a bit challenging to get the letters in the required format... plus there are no points for it... so can I safely change my spouse work exp to NONE.... although he has over 9 years...I will put that in personal history...

If you are not claiming points for that work experience, then you can discard it from the work exp section and mention it in the personal history section.

sorry I am a bit confused. What do you mean by
"EE alone does not count your current and previous work experience during your full-time studies". So if for example I am eligible for FSW, the year of work experience while full time study, do not give me any points? or I misunderstood something?
