Qualification Supporting Evidence

[hmigneron]

Hi all,

I will by applying for Tier 1 (General) from Canada in about 2 weeks. As I am gathering my documents, I realized that all supporting evidence sent when applying needs to be in English. This is fine for almost everything, except for my diploma...

I went to a french university (in Canada) and my degree was thought in french. The diploma is also printed in french and my university cannot print an english diploma. Canada is now on the list of countries "english speaking countries" which means that I don't need to send supporting evidence for the language requirements.

However, what should I do for the diploma? I can get my university to print an official document in English that will confirm that I graduated from there. Should I send my original diploma (in french) and a letter from my university basically repeating what's on the diploma (name, degree, date, etc.) ?

Should I get it translated by an official translator?

Has anyone in my situation applied, and what documentation did you send?

Thanks for your help!

The BA don't accept academic certificates in lieu of degree certificates (diplomas). I sent a certified translation (ie an English translation done by a certified translator, not one issued by the university) with the degree certificate (which was in Latin). AG
