Hi,

I have my bachelors certificate which is stamped by the Ministry of Education. Is this enough to be presented to the immigration visa officer ...i also have the copies of my certificate stamped by the Embassy of my country.
Is this enough ...or do I need to get the copies notarized?

Does this mean that my certificate is certified since it is stamped by the ministry of Education.


I have my certificate laminated ...does the immigration officer wants certificates without lamination inorder to get a good feeling of the certificate by touching it with his hand. Does he want to check the certificate as though he wants to check the hidden contents that would be in a dollar to verify its original.


Please advice if lamination will do

Please read the instructions, you don't submit your certificate, you submit your marks in a sealed envelope from the school see: appendix A "• Transcripts: original transcripts of all degrees must be submitted in university sealed
envelopes."

Hi PMM,

In my cousin brother's case - they only asked for Certificate - they din't ask for transcripts. I have come across a few cases where only certificates will be OK as some of them have lost their transcripts

Does the School have to seal them or i can just wrap it up in an envelope and submit it myself

Because to get the seal from the university takes time even in this case I may not get one. Please advice.

Howver the transcripts have the related the signatures and telephone no's.

Thank you

Why are you in such a hurry? A few months would not hurt you and would give you enough time to accumulate more points for work experience. Chill a little and organize yourself properly. You seem to be in such an awful rush. By the way certificates are not required when you first submit your application.

I submitted my certificates for Bachelors and Masters along with the transcripts I had for each. I did not ask the University to sent them to me, as I already had them. So I did not submit sealed transcripts from the University. Is that a problem? However I did notarise the copy of the transcript from a lawyer

Please reply
