My (American) parents never enrolled me in high school, while I went to a church school for a few months as a very young child by the time I should have been in high school I hadn't had any formal education or taken any official exams in a very long time.

The only exam I took the entire period was the SAT.

This might sound improbable, but I went straight to college (the first year was awful but I never had to take any remedial classes) and then got a graduate degree and now am an engineering professional with quite a long history of excellent work, so I didn't think my lack of secondary education would be a problem here. But on the application I'm reading that documentation is required for secondary education. I don't know what to offer. All I can think of is a signed letter stating the circumstances.

Has any been in or seen this situation before? What did IRCC accept (or did they)?

Your lack of secondary certificate won’t be a problem given you have more advanced degrees. You can mention that you were homeschooled.
