Apologies if this has been answered before, I was surprised I couldn't find much since this must be a fairly common part of applying for PR via HSP.
I'm preparing my application for PR via the HSP 80+ points route. In particular I have been filling in the points calculation sheet and preparing the necessary evidence as listed in the 疎明資料（基本例）section. The evidence for proving my academic background (学歴) is listed as: 該当する学歴の卒業証明書及び学位取得の証明書
I did a bunch of research and couldn't find any information on the difference between a 卒業証明書 and a 学位取得の証明書. I went to a US university for my degree, and they gave me a diploma, and I should have copies of my transcript, but nothing else. So my questions are:
- Is my interpretation correct that both of these documents are required?
- If so, what exactly are they expecting?
- For people who got PR via HSP, what did you actually submit as proof of education?
I did see this thread from a while ago which seems to suggest that a diploma alone should suffice, but I would be interested in hearing more recent accounts if possible.
