Starting an Educational Credential Assessment for Canada from Ayutthaya — which documents come first?

The scope of this answer is “Starting an Educational Credential Assessment for Canada from Ayutthaya”, so it flags what usually causes documents like this to be rejected before summarising the general practice. 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. A key variable is the filing channel (in person, agent or online), which sets the copy format to prepare. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. The terms that frame this page are Starting · Educational · Credential · Assessment. The specifics here are location: Ayutthaya, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. After filing, follow up on the cycle the office states rather than waiting past the deadline. If the receiving body confirmed its requirements by email, keep that message with the file. Record the reference number of each certification layer; it is the fastest way to trace status. Plan the schedule with room for at least one review cycle at the receiving office. Leave buffer time in case a translation has to be amended or a source document re-issued. 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. Thailand has no common-law notary public. Signature certification, certified true copies and affidavits are performed by a Notarial Services Attorney licensed under Lawyers Council of Thailand rules. Where a foreign form says "notarised", read the certifier box first: some bodies accept a notarial attorney, others require their own embassy. ILC handles documents, translation, certification and coordination only. It is not an evaluation body, not an agent of one, and it guarantees no assessment outcome. What a team that has handled cross-border document files for more than 15 years does add is a pre-lodgement check against the receiving body's own checklist, the correct order of steps from the start, and translations and certifications in the format that body accepts. 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.
