Hi,
I did my university education back in India. I am a "temporary foreign worker" in Canada (I have a workpermit).

For applying CEC, do I need to present the original transcripts or just the copies are enough? (I have the original marksheets of all the semesters. I am planning to take a photocopy and attach with my application).

Pls let me know if I am doing something wrong here.

PMM,
Yes, I read the checklist point #5 prior to posting the question. Specifically, the bullet point "Transcripts" has this

"Temporary foreign workers: copies of transcripts of all courses taken"
Graduates: Original transcripts of all courses taken...in college sealed envelopes


Question
I did my graduation in India but is a worker in Canada. What should I attach? Copies or Originals?

The Canadian Experience Class has 2 streams -

- temporary foreign workers (must complete 2 years of employment)
- post-graduates of Canadian universities (must complete 2 years of study in Canada and 1 year of employment after graduation).

You appear to be the former and not the latter. If you were not aware that there are 2 streams, you might want to read the instruction guide again.
