Hi Guys!!

Hopeful someone can give me guidance on my doubts with my ECA.

I have gone through the following process:
  1. I certified my Diplomas and Academic Transcripts with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of my country and got said certifications sealed by the Canadian Embassy here in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
  2. I got my Certified Diplomas and Academic Transcripts translated by an authorized public translator.
My biggest doubt now is if the photocopies of these documents also need to be certified by a lawyer or notary before I send them over to WES.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best!

Yup, I did! Got the originals from my university, certified them at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Canadian Embassy and then got them translated.

Do you know if I also need to have the photocopies certified by a lawyer or are plain and simple copies of everything sufficient?

Not required in my opinion. Wait for others to respond.
