Topic: Documents needed for elementary school enrolling

marianamatos

Hi there!

I am preparing to move from Brazil to Canada (Ontario) as a permanent resident with my family in one year or so, and I would like some advice concerning elementary school enrollment for my 10 years old son.

Do I need to have his school reports, his academic transcript or any other documents translated, even for enrolling him or for showing his grades to the new school?

I know that there are some vaccines required to attend school, and he actually received all of them. Is it necessary to have his vaccination record translated? Or having the vaccinations described as "Completed" in the medical information sheet required by IRCC is enough?

Finally, is there any reason for having his birth certificate translated?

Thanking in advance for your help,
Mariana
