Some tips for attachments

Scan all the pages of the required document or take good quality pictures. Make sure that the pictures/scans are legible. Combine the pages of the same document into one file. For example, an educational certificate should be in one file that can include several pages. Check that the documents are all positioned in the same way upright.

Recommended file formats are: PDF, JPG, PNG and DOCX.

Name the attachment file(s) in the following way: Lastname_First name_description/name of document. For example, Smith_Mary_highschooldiploma.

Some attachments may be asked multiple times on the application form. In this case, you are required to upload the same attachment in multiple sections on the application form.
