Hello,
What does it mean by certified copies of post secondary documents? Does it means verified by the awarding university?
Thanks.

No. Certified copy of the original means a notary public or magistrate etc has seen the original copy of the document of your certificate or transcript and they make a colour copies of the original documents that you want to certify , then stamp it with inscription "certified copy of the original "seal which must be dated and signed by the notary public . Also the address of the person certifying must be included for traceability and verification by the cic.This is to avoid you sending the original document .

However, not just anybody can certify your original document, cic has stated clearly those people who can do this.
