Greetings Mimi Mefo Info Team.
I wish to decry the frustration and suffering Cameroonians who intend to study abroad go through while legalizing documents.
Acquiring, and certifying these documents at the institutions issuing them such as Universities is a nightmare.
The learning institutions in most cases do not respect timeframe while issuing these documents, besides the expensive cost they demand.
This situation has been worsened by the Ministry of External Relations in Yaounde which charges a minimum of 20.000FCFA to legalize a single document. Added to this pain and frustration is the fact that these documents are not accepted by most Universities abroad without their country's diplomatic approval considering that Cameroon is not a member of the Apostille Convention.
For example, applying to study in countries like Poland and Austria with academic certificates obtained from Cameroon is almost impossible because these embassies are not in Cameroon. Moreso, getting appointments to some of these embassies in Nigeria to legalize certificates is almost impossible and very costly to go through the entire process.
please let the government spare us the pain and frustration of jumping from one embassy to another to legalize documents by subscribing to the Apostille Convention.
Thank you!
