McGill Diploma written in Latin, do I need to submit a translation?

[mierl]

Hello All,

I'm applying for Citizenship and I need to provide proof of language proficiency in English or French. I'm from the US and studied at McGill University. However, I realized that my Diploma is written in Latin (only my name is in English). Do you think this will be an issue if I submit it without an official translation into English?

According to IRCC, my proof is English proficiency could be:
"1. A degree, diploma, certificate or official transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program showing you studied in English or French, in Canada or abroad.
2. If the original document is in a different language, include:

• a letter from the school showing that the language of instruction was in English or French along with (including an official translation of the original document, if needed)
• the address and contact information (phone number) of the education institution"

Do you think this will be an issue? Thanks!

Took me 5 minutes to google. McGill provides you with certified translation via PDF. Scan your original diploma, attach a certified translation.
