In terms of the quality of education, Canada is not inferior to European and American colleges and universities, while the cost of education is significantly lower than in other Western countries. That is why Ukrainians strive to get an education in Canada.
What do applicants need to know about documents?
Each educational institution requires its own package. Requirements for it may differ, so it is better to familiarize yourself with them at the stage of choosing a university. The only thing that all educational institutions have in common is the need to provide documents about existing education.
What documents are these?
- school certificate with supplement;
- diploma with supplement.
If the applicant is still studying, for example, graduating from school or college, then it is necessary to provide a certificate from the educational institution.
These types of documents need to be translated from Ukrainian into English, and also an apostille must be obtained. Without this, the school certificate or diploma will not be accepted at the educational institution.
Why do you need an apostille for educational documents?
We all have documents issued in Ukraine in the Ukrainian language. They cannot be accepted in another country without proof of authenticity. There are different forms of certification of documents, one of the simplest and the most accessible is the apostille stamp. It can be used by citizens of countries that are parties to the Hague Convention.
Ukraine joined the Convention in 2002. But Canada much later - the Convention came into force only at the beginning of 2024. Now all Ukrainians can provide documents issued in Ukraine in Canada. To do this, it is enough to put an apostille stamp in advance.
Apostille is also placed on educational documents: diplomas, school certificates, supplements. The stamp confirms that the signatures and seals on the documents are valid. Ukrainians must obtain an apostille for a diploma or school certificate in Ukraine. Therefore, we recommend you to deal with this issue before submitting documents.
Where to get an apostille for a diploma for Canada?
An apostille for any country that has signed the Hague Convention is obtained from the country that issued the document. The same applies to a diploma or school certificate intended for admission to a Canadian university.
