After completing your online application you must provide CES with your official academic record.

Your official academic record (transcript) must be;

• Sent directly to CES office by the awarding institution, in an institution-sealed envelope 

OR 

• You can forward the institution-sealed envelope to our office if the institution releases the official/verified academic records/transcript to you

If your institution offers official electronic transcripts, we invite you to select this option to minimize any delays. Please contact your academic institution to request that they send your academic documents to us directly to ces.transcripts@utoronto.ca. The electronic transcript must be sent via an institutional email address belonging to the appropriate office/department/unit that is in charge of academic document issuance or verification. Please ensure to check the country specific document requirement for your country of education before your request the official academic record.

• CES does not accept official documents attested by Higher Education Commission, Pakistan by email.
• If you obtained your education in China, please follow the document requirements for China in the COUNTRY SPECIFIC ACADEMIC DOCUMENT TOOL. 
   

Remarks: Please ensure you check the country specific document requirement. If you obtained education in Pakistan and China, please follow the special instructions regarding the official academic records. 

It is your responsibility to make these arrangements with your awarding institution. CES cannot order these documents on your behalf.

• Official documents must be signed, stamped, and dated by the officials (Registrar, Controller of Examination) of the awarding institution
• Plain photocopies are not acceptable for this requirement
