Hi friends

I am a family physician and gonna apply to express entry noc3112. My question is that mcc mention:

ACCEPTABLE CERTIFYING OFFICIALS
IMPORTANT: The MCC received notification that as of May 30, 2014, Canadian consular officials will no longer provide document certification services.

The MCC accepts certification from the officials below if it is within their mandate and they offer these services:
• Authorized representatives at the Dean or at the Registrar offices of the candidate’s faculty (school) of medicine
• Notary public
• Lawyers (member of an official bar association)
• First-class magistrates, judges/justices of the peace
• Officials at some embassies or consulate

IN MY COUNTRY IN TURKEY THERE ARE LOCAL NOTARY AND THEY HAVE TURKISH STAMP. IS IT OKEY FOR CERTIFYING DOCUMENTS? MY SCHOOL DEAN AND ALL NOTARIES HAVE TURKISH STAMP. I AM CONFUSED HOW SHOULD I DO? THANKS EVERYONE

I am from Albania and i have the same problem. Its been a month and i havent find anyone with an english or french stamp.My cousins in canada have contacted personally to mcc about this problem. I think that it is not a problem for the stamp, its just a verification source, so they just can make a verification of the original stamp to the notary service.

Like the other poster said, it’s not a matter of the stamp, just make sure the certification is either in English or French.

Also note that when MCC is doing your degree verification ( for ECA) they would ask that you submit a translation request (through physician apply) if your degree certificate is not in English or French.

Rest assured that MCC is very efficient and quick to respond to queries. My ECA took like 6 weeks (my school delayed the verification).
All the best

I sent a mail to a mcc and I mention this problem. And it is their answer :

“Thank you for your communication of July 14, 2019.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept seals and certification that are not in English or French, or that have been translated.

However, we can also accept certification from an official of an Embassy or Consulate. We are aware that the Canadian Embassy will no longer certify, however we can also accept any other embassy, such as the Embassy of United States, United Kingdom, France or Australia.

Please see our certification requirements for further information.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require further information.

Regards,”

I am still confused. Okey I am gonna translated my diploma and other documents. But they say you should certified these at embassy or consulate. Embassy is far from my town. I don’t know how I should do

Ok. i was going to pay on my portal where it does says that i have different names in my passport and my degree, because of the middle name. And it says i have to send a birth certificate. So this birth certificate do i have to translate or notarise it or send it in the original format or a photocopy?

Certified copy of your birth certificate (just like your passport)
