Certified Translation for a Work Visa to Canada: What You Need to Know
Planning to work in Canada? If you’re applying for a work visa, chances are you’ll need to submit documents that are not in English or French, Canada’s official languages. One of the most important steps in your application process is getting a certified translation of these documents. At ANZ Translation Canada, we specialize in helping individuals and businesses meet the official translation requirements for Canadian immigration.
In this article, we explain why certified translations are crucial, which documents need to be translated, and how ANZ Translation can help ensure your work visa application is smooth and successful.
Why Do You Need Certified Translations for a Work Visa?
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires that all documents submitted in a foreign language be accompanied by a certified translation in English or French. This ensures that immigration officers can accurately assess your qualifications, experience, and eligibility.
If translations do not meet IRCC standards, your application may be rejected or delayed—costing you time and opportunities. That’s why it’s critical to use a professional translation service that understands Canadian immigration regulations.
What Is a Certified Translation?
A certified translation is a true and accurate translation of an original document, completed by a certified translation agency in Canada
A proper certified translation includes:
- The full translated document
- A signed statement (Affidavit or Certificate of Accuracy) from the translator attesting to the accuracy of the translation
- The translator’s credentials
- A copy of the original document attached to the translation
Which Documents May Require Certified Translation for a Work Visa?
Depending on the work visa program you are applying for (e.g., Temporary Foreign Worker Program, Global Talent Stream, LMIA-based work permit), you may need certified translations for documents such as:
- Educational diplomas and transcripts
- Employment letters and reference letters
- Professional licenses or certificates
- Police clearance certificates
- Marriage certificates (if applicable for accompanying family)
- Birth certificates (for dependents or spouse)
