I couldn't find anywhere clear instructions about translations: do I send only copies of them or originals? They are notarially verified and cost me about $200 (my 2 degrees, bachelor and master, my husband's degrees, birth certificates, reference letters and so on). Because they are quite expensive I'm a bit reluctant to give them away if there is no need. Please help me if you know what are the rules.

o Where the documents are not in English or in French, the principal applicant must submit a photocopy of the original document and a photocopy of the certified translation.
Note: NSOI will only accept translations prepared by certified translators. Translators must be certified by a regulatory body and cannot be a family member of the applicant or spouse, or common-law partner, or work for a paid consultant or representative who is preparing the application. The applicant must also supply proof from the translator describing their translation ability or certification.
