首先我们来区分两个概念，一个是学历学位的教育部认证，一个是学历学位的使馆认证或者叫领事认证。

First of all, let's distinguish two concepts, one is the Ministry of Education certification for academic degrees, and the other is embassy certification or consular certification for academic degrees.

什么是加拿大学历学位的教育部认证

教育部的学位认证不同于领事认证。教育部的学位认证主要用于申请人在入学、就业和资格考试期间的证书。该证书由教育部国际学生服务中心批准，以确定文凭颁发机构的合法性和文凭的真实性。

Ministry of Education accredited Canadian degree
Degree accreditation by the Ministry of Education is different from consular accreditation. The Ministry of Education's degree accreditation is mainly used for applicants' certificates during admission, employment and qualification examinations. This certificate is approved by the International Student Services Center of the Ministry of Education to determine the legitimacy of the diploma issuing authority and the authenticity of the diploma.
什么是加拿大学历学位领事认证

加拿大学位证书涉及在中国申请工作签证。移民时，申请人需要申请加拿大学位认证，才能被政府部门接受。加拿大学位认证程序为加拿大公证人、省政府认证和中国驻加拿大大使领馆认证。

Canadian degree consular certification
A Canadian degree certificate involves applying for a work visa in China. When immigrating, applicants need to apply for Canadian degree certification in order to be accepted by government departments. The Canadian degree certification process is Canadian notary public, provincial government certification and Chinese embassy and consulate certification in Canada.

在申请工作签证或在公安局申请中国永久居留权时，外国人将要求加拿大学位和无犯罪记录证书由中国驻加拿大大使馆或领事馆认证，以证明外国人在加拿大没有犯罪记录，毕业于国外正规高等学校。领事认证主要用于证明学位证书或无犯罪报告的真实性。

值得注意的是，外国人的学位证书需要体现出来“Degree”文字才是真正意义上的学位证书，是否出现“Degree”这也是外专局在审查过程中判断申请人是否获得学位的重要依据。

加拿大学历学位认证需要哪些材料？
1)公证认证申请表
2)扫描加拿大学位证书
3)申请人的护照扫描件。如果申请人是中国公民，还需要提供加拿大有效居留身份证件的扫描件

加拿大有效居留身份过期的中国公民需要起草一份声明，说明他们在加拿大居留的时间。目前，由于某种原因，他们无法提供有效的居留身份并签字。

1) Application form for notarization certification
2) Scan a Canadian degree certificate
3) Scanned copy of applicant's passport. If the applicant is a Chinese citizen, a scanned copy of a valid Canadian residency ID is also required
Chinese citizens whose valid Canadian residency status has expired are required to draft a statement stating the length of their stay in Canada. Currently, for some reason, they cannot provide a valid residency status and sign it.
