VO originals to CIO?

[shankqiu]

As supporting documents to CIO, should the VO specific documents be originals or photocopies? e.g. birth certificate, degree certificate, employment references, PCC, etc.

Just gave CIC a call, and was told that everything should be "CLEAR PHOTOCOPIES"!

Anyone had experience?

cheers!

Hello there,

I guess all photocopies have to be notarized. Are you sure the CIO asked only for the photocopies of the employment papers and PCC? Nope, to my understanding, certain papers like IELTS TRF, PCC, Employment reference letters, have to be original as mentioned in the VO checklist. Also the university documents have to be in a sealed envelope from the university, which is as good as originals

Please go through this thread as well for reference.

Thanks, I gone through the two threads, hence the confusion...

The CIC agent specifically told me NO VO originals to be sent to the CIO, only Clear Copies, not notarized/certified copies...

Hello there,

I'm not sure if that is the case, then i have to do some ground work as well. What about the university sealed transcripts? They have to sealed and sent right?

Thanks,
