Transcript or Marksheet?

Just to be in the safe side, write to cic that you tried to make contact with the University but they have not replied, and you heard that it might have closed. How far are you now from that closed University?
I guess if that University didnt get shut down due to violation of educational standard , then your certs would be well accepted by CIC.

Nathan,... thank you,.. I see in our postings that you've always tried to help,... But then, since the universities have closed down almost 6 years ago, how would CIC be able to investigate the reasons for their closing down ? And certainly there would be a lot of work to do in order to investigate the reasons, right ?

transcripts sealed by universities/colleges are required only for degrees and not for O levels and High school certificates right?

Yes, I believed so,... unless someone else here says otherwise. Hmm,... it got me thinking, for some countries, if they are very prone to natural disasters, then the chances for them losing their documents all these years woulod be very high, perhaps to flood, earthequakes, etc,... and if all these documents are lost, I wondered how will they be able to regain them for the CHC,.... and if no documents available, then no points awarded,...

What do these people do then ?

Certification of POST SECONDARY EDUCATION - Not Mentioned Original or Notarized
Certification of College or University Degrees - Not Mentioned Original or Notarized
Transcripts - Original Transcripts of all degrees in Universitys' Sealed Envelopes.
Professional Qualification Certs in Notarized form.

I just copied identically from the Visa office specific Instrusctions.
CHC Singapore wants them the above way. Ankit of ND and others, does your CHC's want them as Singapore does?

I still believe, all can be submitted Notarized but this will make some delays as CIC is strict in verifying these documents by calling the issueing institutions.

jnathan,
so for CHC singapore, this means certificates can be submitted as photocopy?
a little bit confusion.

...horse,.. NO, I would think it's more like notarized photocopies, whereby the Original has been seen by the Public Notary, and he will vouch that the copies that he has stamped on came from Originals which HE HAS SEEN EARLIER PRIOR TO PUTTING HIS DHOBY MARK ON THE COPIES.

Otherwise, the Original Issuing organization will need to issue another set of Originals for the CHC, and I guessed this is where we need to contact the earlier organizations, be they universities, or colleges, etc,... but again, provided that they are still in existence.

Again, I am open to corrections from other forummers,....

Hi FrenchAsian,
I have decided to get the degree certificate copy stamped by university and sealed in envelope, it's easier than got it notarized.
This maybe the safer way to submit full docs, to avoid wasting our precious time.
Thanks

But is this the prescribed method ? I think it's only one of the following two methods, right ?

1) If to be obtained from the university, then it has to be a New Original, 'fresh' from the U,... to be sealed by the U and mailed directly to the CHC; otherwise,

2) If using copies to be made from an Earlier Original (awarded on graduation day years ago), then the copies must be notarized by a Public Notary.

Can we have copies notarized by the U ? Please correct my understanding, gentlemen,....

 

[pow_wow]

again... do i need O level certificate in sealed envelope or just bachelor and master's transcripts???

Hi ALL

let me be very Straight forward,

When you get File number,just go to your UNI and request for Transcript(which is not Detailed mark sheet,in fact it shows ur all record in a page or two,So that CHC can get all academic records in this single document),and the UNI will itself send it to CHC,UNI normally charges for it.

CHC prefer Transcripts coz then it won't require to verify your docs,

But , BE sure if you don't want that burden,
Then just XEROX all Qualification Docs and get notarised,and sent it will your file to CHC, CHC accepts it gladly.

May be this would help.

Nice posts, but i have a question.
I had applied for transcripts while i was planning to do MS in USA. I still have those transcripts (sealed/original/in univ letter heads), but they are 5 yrs old. Can i still submit the same to CIC?

NO NO never, Transcripts must be new one.and dear 5 years are too much even 5 months are not allowed,To prove this fact,CHC give ur 120 days to submit all docs,So in no way they want old dated docs,

Once you get the transcripts from university they should be in a sealed envelope, hopefully with university seal somewhere. Just do not open it.

 

[jnathan]

Singapore office well accepts 10th and 12th Class nOtarized Docts. But its strictly advised that applicants submit Bachelors and Masters docts in Sealed Envelopes.

Sk. Why did you send docs to ND without PCC?

Hi Guys
My first post here. I have seen a transcript and i think it is not just a sealed mark list. It is a consolidated mark list with details such as number of attempts made to clear each exam, Attendance, etc. Most importantly the transcript has information about the university itself, affiliations etc.
There is an instruction sheet which advises on how to read a transcript as well.
Maybe the construct of the transcript depends on the university. VTU was like that.
