Lack of EXAMPLES and DETAILS may result in your application being rejected as the Assessment Board will have insufficient information to determine whether you meet the qualifications.
RESUMES may be used as a secondary source to validate the EDUCATION and EXPERIENCE described in your answers to the screening questions.
Candidates must provide proof of their education during the assessment phase. Original diplomas, degrees or certified transcripts may be required and must be presented upon request. Failure to produce required documents will result in your application not being considered. If you went to school outside of Canada, you must have your certificates and/or diplomas assessed against Canadian education standards.
