Is Laminated Cirtificates and Mark sheets accepted?

[raqib_00]

I have laminated my SSC and HSC certificates and marksheets long ago. Should I now draw new copy from the Education Board or the laminated ones would be ok? Does Canada create problem with lamination like Australia or USA does?

These sounds like your only copy? Are you going to send them your orginals?
Do they ask for school leaving certificates?

 

[raqib_00]

they are the originals and I will send the photocopies. But if they want to see the original in future, would they make any problem as they are laminated? I've heard that in Australia, they do no accept laminated certificates to be original....

I don't know the answer to that.

Will they accept photocopies though at the processing stage?

"When all else fails, read the instructions"

From Appendix A instructions:

• College or university documents: certification of completion and the
graduation degree, diploma, or certificate issued by the college or university and
the evaluation committee;
• Transcripts: original transcripts of all degrees must be submitted in university sealed
envelopes

Hello,

Laminated originals are not accepted, or at least becomes questionable. This is my personal experience that is why I am telling you. I had to take the lamination out and that destroyed the document.

First of all if you just want to send this with your application, you need to notarized them, later they may ask you transcripts in sealed envelope (as PMM mentioned) and it is quite possible that you never have to show your laminated originals, but in case you have an interview and they ask you for originals, they may question the lamination, so it is better to get prepared for another copy without lamination if there will be an interview.

when u provide the certificates dont the CIC check with the uni anyway so they should just accept.

If that is the case, then wouldn't they just accept a photocopy from all of us.

I agree with Rupesh, they don't have time to re-check on our documents unless they appear suspicious.
