Some further questions!

[alexchristi]

The issue with the passports is that we can easily get them certified but the certifying letters, stamp etc are in Greek!

Can you link me to where i can find different VO instructions? that is the second time i hear that today but i had no idea that each VO has different needs! it will help us greatly man

It looks like since they changed the forms (I think 17th july) the only one's with specific VO instructions are the Chineese and Hong Kong
www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5612E.pdf
See at # 19:

before that date almost every VO had specific Instructions.

In the VO instructions for Bucharest it was written at no6:

6. EDUCATION/TRAINING/QUALIFICATIONS
For you, your spouse or common-law partner:
• Post-secondary education documents: vocational or technical certificates or
diplomas;
• College or university documents: certification of completion and the
graduation degree, diploma, or certificate issued by the college or university and
the evaluation committee;
• Transcripts: original transcripts of all degrees must be submitted in universitysealed envelopes.
• Professional qualifications certificates: notarized professional qualifications


certificates should be submitted if available. (e.g., Engineer, Computer
Programmer, Accountant, Economist, Translator/Interpreter, Architect etc.)

Because Universities in Romania do not give Diploma replacements or certified copies what we did is the following:
Went at a public notary and made 2 certified copies of all the needed docs, 1 set we put in a envelope and went to the university were they just sealed it and put the original seal on it.

Oh so probably now all VO (except the two you mentioned) have the same instructions huh? nice

As for the transcripts, yes we got these in originals, but we are talking about the actual diploma

My advice for you is to print all the the forms and instructions from CIC  website , and read them very carefully.
I applied using the instructions valid till july 17th.

That is a tough one 
I did this the clasic way : just show them the money.
Gather as much as you can from different sources make a deposit and show the bank statement or get a bank letter that certifies that yiu have the funds.
