You have a degree. Who'd thunk it.

I submitted my transcripts when we applied (even though almost 20 years had passed for some of them). They arrived quickly, and I think it cost £10 for each one. Not too much to pay for peace of mind in the application process.

I now work for a Canadian University and this is a common request. Records are held from the year dot in most cases.

Hi

I would phone the uni you went to and arrange to pick up the transcripts as you have enough time and then you are sure you have them.

I think the important thing to remember in this process is that you are trying to convince someone you dont know (and who works for the government) to let you into Canada and that person does not give a monkeys left gonad wheather they pick up the accept or reject stamp. Your job is to convince them, if they ask GET IT do you really want to take a chance after waiting all this time?

I work for the government and trust me if the paperwork is not right our policy is it goes in the bin. Government thinking in th UK is very much box ticking and i dont think the Canadians will be any different

Thats my pennies worth anyway

Well I have just learnt an important lesson as I see the NS to Scotland drive might be a bit long, maybe I should read all the replies first. Well that proves that having an engineering degree will not protect me from being a total numpty, well it was Wolverhampton Uni.

If the uni dont have a transcript any more get them to send you a letter to say that, so you can show you have tried and there is a legitimate reason for not having one.

I will get back in my box now

I couldn't get a proper transcript in time because they were overloaded with work at the start of new university year, but the admin person I spoke to sent me a letter saying how long I'd studied there, etc, and I sent that in with the initial application, then forwarded the transcript when it eventually arrived.

My Husband and I were both at the same uni at the same time (way more than 7 years ago and different subjects). They are providing a transcript for him (£10) but only have an incomplete record for my scores. They have agreed to send a sealed envelope containing a letter from them confirming my degree and the administrative reason for lack of full transcript, which I plan to provide with my certificate.

I wasn't happy when they first said they didn't have the records to provide me with a transcript, but at least I can show I tried and will have the letter direct from the uni to say so as well as the certificate.
