Required document submission

Document Submission

Official transcripts are the academic records from a high school or post-secondary institution you have attended. An official transcript can be requested from a provincial department of education, a secondary or post-secondary institution. Official transcripts must be received in a sealed school envelope bearing an official stamp or seal or they will be deemed unofficial.
