I just had to prove that I did all of my undergrad years at my previous university using English as the medium of teaching. After I got my Letter of Acceptance from the school, I applied online at CIC's website and waited for updates. Once I got the request for my passport I simply printed it out and submitted the request along with my passport to the VFS Global office nearest to me. Got it back along with the VISA.
