Hi,

As per CIC website below is required as a proof of language:

You attended or are currently attending a secondary or post-secondary education program in English or French, either in Canada or abroad, including:
  • A degree, diploma, certificate or official transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program showing you studied in English or French, in Canada or abroad.
  • If the original document is in a different language, include:
    • a letter from the school showing that the language of instruction was in English or French along with (including an official translation of the original document, if needed)
    • the address and contact information (phone number) of the education institution
My question is, do I need to send the original degree with Citizen application? If yes then when will CIC return the original degree? More over the language of instruction is not mentioned on degree so I need to provide the letter from university as well. Can any body confirm if he has submitted letter from Agricultural University Faisalabad Pakistan (or any other Pakistani University) and that has been accepted.

Thank you.

Don't put yourself in trouble by sending original degree as it may be lost during postage and IRCC wont care.

You should only send clear copy of you degree, You should bring original docs including degree at the time of your interview.

A latter from the institute (confirming your medium of instruction in English) accompanied with your degree will strengthen your case further.

I was worried about sending the original documents to CIC.
