Hello guys,
I am applying for PGWP and it asks following documents
  • an official letter from your school that confirms you’ve completed your study program
  • an official transcript, or a copy of your transcript from your school’s website
So for a transcript can I download unofficial transcript from university's website and submit it? my transcript states that it is unofficial, does that create any issues?

An official transcript is one that is sent directly by your school to the 'body' requesting it. You can send the online copy as well.

when I download the transcript it says "unofficial transcript" is that fine if I submit this online copy?

No get the official one then scan it.
Some schools specifically state that the unofficial one will lead to rejection, but you can also just ask your schools international office/advisors if unofficial is OK.

The unofficial ones will cause problems. I verified with the call center before I submitted mines. The rules say official, so present official ones.
