SCHOOL RECORD

[lilua]

I qoute below the CIC instruction regarding SCHOOL RECORD:

Provide photocopies of all your official school records if applicable for the relevant four (4) year period immediately preceding the date of your application, provide.

In addition, provide photocopies of official school records for any dependent children in Canada or abroad even if you are not applying for Canadian citizenship on their behalf.

I attended alanguage course at Centennial College but they did not give me any certificate. How can I give the PHOTOCOPIES of SCHOOL RECORD then? Regarding my children school record, is it suffice if I give the photocopies of PROVINTIAL REPORT CARD of his school?

Hi there,

Regarding Centennial, maybe you can get proof you attended like a letter or something from the school? If not ask for transcipts or something. Schools are generally helpful with this kind of thing. just explain it's for immigration purposes.

Would the provincial year end report card suffice for my children or I need to take any certificate from them? CIC did not clarified what constitute "school record".

Hello Leon,

Can you answer to my above concern about school record. Will it suffice to provide the regular prvincial school report cards received at the end of exams or we need to have anything special for the purpose.

CIC does not specify, but they return applications with just letter from school. Get as much as possible.

"School records" usually consist of:
1) general letter of attendance from school with start/end dates, total hours, programs, etc. (what applies)
2) attendance/absences records table
3) academic transcripts with results.

I was able to get all 3 types of docs from a language school I studied at.

That just letter is not enough was already learned by many people in a hard way.

Yes, letter + report cards as minimum. Check out this experience:

[quote author=cool_alex]A few months ago my perfectly complete application was returned due to "missing school records for myself or my dependent children" although all records were enclosed. That pre-printed sticker on CIC letter left many people guessing, including a settlement coordinator who kindly checked my application for completeness before I sent it (and he was by no means a stranger to the drill). Eventually I had to contact an immigration law firm and the only suggestion they could come up with was to supplement the standard letters from my child's schools with his report cards. Very expensive but hopefully helpful advice (still waiting for CIC feedback to see if that did the trick).

Why do they ask for transcripts from the language school? It is not a university degree... do we need to submit all the courses we attended too?

I had exams each 2 months after each term in speaking, reading etc. and got scores (0-100) transcript for each of them.
