All my work experience supporting docs are not in English, therefore, i have them all translated by a certified translator.

I have scanned all the origianls and plan to upload the certified translation docs as well as the original docs.

however, i just saw below on CIC website:
If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide IRCC with:

the English or French translation; and
an affidavit from the person who completed the translations; and
a certified photocopy of the original document.

the last one says a certified photocopy of the original document, does it mean i upload certified photocopy instead of the original itself??

please advice

Correct, that's so they can match this copy to the documents translated.
