I just looked at an old email from our liason at our uni and he said we needed the original document apostilled. I looked at the immigration website and it seems to say the same thing (can't link right now..on firefox..linux). So I need a definite answer. Do I need to get my original apostilled or a copy?

The copy seems the logical answer but I'd like to know for sure.

Have you actually been through immigration with a copy?

Quote:
Certificate of academic degree issued by the relevant university. (Affixed with an apostille or attached with documents verifying highest education, issued by domestic verification agency)

Its kind of confusing but it doesn't specify if it is a copy needed or not.

Yes. I have NEVER used an original for visa purposes.

A copy with an apostille (or K-consulate certification if you are Canadian) has ALWAYS been accept able to Kimmi.
