Hi! I have a question to those of you guys who applied under CEC Temporary Foreign Worker category (not Graduate): is it necessary to submit your transcripts? I've been working in Canada for over 3 yrs now, do I really have to include the transcripts in my application packet or are Master's and PhD diplomas enough? Thanks in advance!

Transcripts are mandate. I submitted my application without the transcripts and got a mail from them asking for transcripts. Some may say its not mandate, but its better to send it to avoid unnecessary delays. Good luck

Yes, you have to include transcripts (and all diplomas - what about your BA/BS?). Consider it part of your background check if not your Canadian experience.

Worse still, instructions say, to include transcripts for every college/university course ever taken. For me, that was 10 transcripts (there were 2 more that I couldn't get, too long ago.) Was it a PITA? Yes. Expensive, too. But I've moved a lot and lived in several countries, so, I hope all those transcripts will make the background check go easier (I feel bad for the IO who gets my case...).

So suck it up and just do it :)
