Hello,
I read many questions about degree completion letter whether being enough to show as a proof of education for Express Entry in FSW category if the degree is completed from Canada. Did anyone actually go ahead with the letter and transcripts sans the degree certificate? And was it accepted by CIC?
I would be greatful for your help as I have received my ITA but not uploaded the documents as I am in two minds now.
Thanks in advance.

You need to include the transcript, too. I think the degree completion letter would be acceptable if you had recently graduated but for some reason don't have the certificate (with a letter of explanation).

Hi,

I was wondering if you have got any success with using the graduation letter?
I am in the same position so when filing the profile I wrote that my degree was awarded on the date I got the graduation letter. However if I get an ITA i probably would still have chance to upload my actual degree as it will be conferred within the 90 days to fill the application. I am afraid that they reject it since I technically didn't state the correct date for degree awarded :(

I already responded to your query in the other thread.

Could you please tell me what happened? As i am exactly in the same situation as well? Did they accept the letter of Completion? When u added the degree did you choose "In good standing but no degree is awarded" or " option b Degree is awarded" .. thanks

Transcript and diploma are the only requirement. Actually, some people consoder letter of completion not enough for IRCC since your degree is not conferred yet. But what you have is the best combination.
