Is degree certificate mandatory as a proof of education?

[darysaf]

Hi everyone,
I have received an ITA and I’m wondering if the 1. completion letter from the university and 2. an official transcript stating that I was awarded master’s degree would suffice as a proof of education. It’s from an Australian university and I used these exact documents to get my ECA from WES with no problems. So would IRCC also consider these documents sufficient evidence?

I actually never picked up my degree certificate and just realized I need it for my application (stupid, I know). I have contacted my university to request it, but who knows how long will it take for my degree to arrive from Australia to Canada.

Thank you!

Did WES accept your transcripts and official completion letter for their evaluation?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, they did.

But as per advice here I still decided to order my degree and used it for my application in addition to my transcript and official completion letter.

You need the actual certificate, heard of a few people getting rejected because of that. You can have your school scan the copy to you, as you don’t need the hard copy for your application.

Thank you! You are right, that’s exactly what I did (contacted my school and got the actual degree certificate to apply).

Thanks everyone, case closed
