Only the original documents that are NOT in English or French need certified copies (along with their official translation). regular copies are good enough for English (or French) documents unless they have asked for the originals like ECA report or English test results, etc.aalm said:I have seen many students submitted application without a single copy notarized or certified.
As the cost is higher, people avoid it.
But the right procedure (according to CIC) that you submit notarized/certified copy of each and every document that is a photocopy of the original.
In the checklist they asked for "copies" for everything and "copies" means they have to be notarized or certified.
How you will submit, its totally up to you.
