Hi all,

I have a job offer as senior software developer and 17 years of experience but I lost my university diploma.

As I am not living in the country where I graduated is not easy to request a copy of my diploma.

When applying for the work visa, my job offer, LMIA and experience are enough of is mandatory to provide the diploma?

Thanks in advance

If NOC requires a certain level of education then yes, you may need educational assessment for it not just copy.

Hi @Naturgrl, thanks for your reply. How can I be sure if NOC requires that? The only information that I found is that the proof of education may be required, but it’s a bit vague, thanks

The requirements for a work visa depend on the specific country and visa type. In many cases, proof of experience and an approved LMIA (if applying for a Canadian visa) can be sufficient, but some visas do require a copy of your diploma, especially if the job offer specifies a degree requirement. If a diploma is mandatory, you might be able to request a replacement or official transcripts from your university remotely. Some countries also allow credential evaluations based on work experience. It’s best to check with the immigration authority or a lawyer for precise requirements in your case.
