Yes. What is required is transcripts in a sealed envelope.

Hi there,

Trascript is a statement of courses / subjects that you have taken on a University letterhead / format. It needs to be given by the university that you attended in a sealed envelope which only CHC must open.

hope this helps.

You need transcripts in University sealed envolope. They are same as marksheets but you need to get it from University in sealed envolopes.


See a reply of Canadian Embassy to my query

The sealed transcripts must originate from and bear the seal of the educational institution which originally issued the transcripts. If the college, affiliated with the university, is the original issuer of the transcripts, you may submit the transcripts sealed by the college. If not, then you must obtain sealed transcripts from the university.

Universities in India are familiar with our requirements and have not, to date, refused to issue sealed transcripts. If you are unable to obtain sealed transcripts, you may submit notarized transcripts however, they will be subject to close scrutiny and the visa officer may still require sealed transcripts.

We trust that this information will be of assistance.

Hi SD,... I studied in a college, however, the same college that I studied in has closed down a few years ago. So how would I be able to get the college to issue the transcript since it is no longer around please ?

Hi,

The college must have been affiliated to a University, which keeps records of the colleges come under it, so, you try to contact the University headquarters.

Notarized transcripts in my post meant notarized copies of mark sheets of your diploma or degree course

..Charninder,.. thank you. Goodness, then I must travel to England to do this, 'cos the college that I studied in was previously affiliated to two polytechnics in the UK, which have since been upgraded to university status.

Just another question : if the universities should refuse to help me, can I get my earlier documents (my diplomas and Subject Listings) notarized by a Public Notary, and send these in to CHC instead ? Of course, I'll need to enclose a cover letter saying that my college has closed down, and the universities refused to help me. Would appreciate your replies, thank you,....

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.

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