Hey guys, need help. For english language proof, if you submit a diploma/degree, does it have to be in the English subject, OR does it have to be taught in english? Official docs say : "You may send a transcript, diploma or certificate showing that you graduated from a secondary school or from a post-secondary program in Canada or abroad. These materials must show that the program was in English or French"

I took this to mean the program was taught in an english or french medium, as in the language of instruction. I think I messed up?

I think I panicked prematurely. There are posts on here where its clear the language of instruction has to be in english or french, not necessarily the subject.

Has any deadline been given to submit the PCC ?

I have an update on my PCC thingy,
Singapore has asked me to send fingerprints done at authorised places. I went to RCMP approved fingerprinting place and sent to Singapore authorities.
It was very confusing process, especially where and how to do the fingerprinting that is not for Canadian authorities.
Posting here in case anyone needs to know it!

Thanks for the update. For me, it shouldn’t be too difficult — that embassy handles the fingerprinting and forwards the paperwork to Japan. It takes time, but the process is free. Glad to have received the AOR this morning, though there's no update on the PCC yet. Let’s see how it goes.

It arrived by email then?

Yes by email !! I am under the impression that the AOR is always sent by email. Do they ever send it by courier or through another method?
