Hi! Am about to apply for the IDP program and there is a section on the cappid application where am required to upload a certificate and licensures.
Unfortunately my dental license has expired and i need to travel back to my country to get a renewal. Can I upload other professional licenses like Dental assisting and X-ray license instead?

No, it is not required. I personally did not upload it and everything was completely fine.

Really? You left that section blank or what?

 

[Sonitta]

Yes, it is optional. I opted not to upload and moved to the next section of the application.

Okay!
Did you get any invite this cycle?

Yes, I did.
However, there might be some specific programs that might ask you this in their "program materials" section or separately via e-mail. You have to also do your own research in regards to this. But even If there are such - it's probably 1 or 2 programs. I feel you do not have to go back home just for this.
Good luck!
