The degree parchment, a full transcript and an employer letter carry the file. No provincial licence exists for soil scientists, so nothing can be substituted for the degree, and the transcript is what links a broadly named programme to the specific profession claimed.
The transcript is the document doing the real work
Applicants often present a parchment and a letter and are surprised to be asked for more. Where the profession is met by licensure, the licence certificate closes the question quickly. Where it is met by a degree alone, the officer has to see that the degree is in the field claimed, and a parchment reading Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Science does not say soil science anywhere on it.
A sealed transcript listing pedology, soil fertility, soil physics and the thesis title supplies the missing link. Alongside it should sit an employer letter giving the company's legal name, Sylvie's name and Canadian citizenship, the profession exactly as Appendix 2 states it, the duties in concrete terms, the salary, the reporting line and the period requested. A degree earned outside Canada or the United States needs a credential evaluation, and any document not in English needs a complete certified translation.
