Question about Supplying Degree Certificate

I have a question about supplying a copy of a degree certificate as part of my EE application.

I lost my original certificate when I moved house a few years ago. I do have a digital scan of the original that I took before I moved. I've also got a certified duplicate degree certificate, issued by my University.

Which would be better to supply? I'm worried that if I attached a copy of the original, I wouldn't be able to reproduce the physical document if asked. And I couldn't find any information on whether certified duplicate certificates are acceptable.

I've already had my credentials assessed by ICES and have a separate certificate from them. For this, I used my certified duplicate certificate.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Firstly, you don't need your degree certificate for EE. You need your educational assessment results from any credential evaluation agency.

Secondly, they (IRCC) won't ask you for the original. A good quality scan copy will do for your post ITA document upload.

Yes, if the provisional was accepted for the ECA.
