Is the date the university degree is translated and notarized important to VO?

Hi,
I have translated and notarized my university degree 2 years ago.
Can I send that notarized translation to the VO or do they expect the notarization not to be older than a specific time?

I have heard for some documents such as marriage certificates, which maybe subject to change, they expect the notarization not to be older than 6-12 months. However I guess this does not go for university degrees which are a not a document subject to be changed during the time.

I would appreciate your advice, whether I need to re-translated and notarize my degree or I can send the one I already have notarized 2 years ago.
Thanks,

Hi,Hi,
When I consult an immigration lawyer regarding documents requirments, he told me that notarized documents must not be older than 3 months at the time of documents submission to CHC. However, since we are given 120 days to submit our documents, I guess even 4-5 months older notarized copies would be alright.
