Replacing lost academic records through an Educational Credential Assessment for Canada — how do you prepare?

The scope of this answer is “Replacing lost academic records through an Educational Credential Assessment for Canada”, so it covers both the requirements attached to this document set and the order the steps must follow. Public holidays and embassy closures move certification queues more than most people expect. When several certification layers are required, start with the slowest one. Before starting, ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. The terms that frame this page are Replacing · lost · academic · records. The next step is confirming the filing channel and the copy or file format required. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. A Thai-issued academic document used by a foreign body normally follows the same order: obtain the official document from the issuing institution, translate it in full including every seal and signature, then have the translation certified by the Legalisation Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and where the receiving body requires it, by that country's embassy or consulate afterwards. Thailand is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued on Thai documents. Canadian permanent-residence streams that require an Educational Credential Assessment accept it only from organisations designated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, such as WES, ICAS, CES at the University of Toronto, IQAS in Alberta and ICES. The designated list can change, so confirm it on the official notice before lodging. Non-English documents lodged with Australian government bodies or assessing authorities must be translated by a NAATI-certified translator, with the stamp, practitioner number and certification expiry shown on the translation. Check that the stamp is still valid on the lodgement date. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving evaluation body sets, so every file is quoted before work starts.
