You can safely open the seal and scan the document to upload to the SSHRC application portal – but please keep the envelope for your records.

Please contact the administrative support person in your home department to request these documents. Once you have those you can scan them and upload them to your application online. Please ensure if there is a transcript “key” or “legend” that a copy is included by your home department for you scan and upload as part of your application.
