Certified Translation Services in Canada: A Complete Guide

What is a Certified Translation?

A certified translation is an official translation of a document from one language to another, accompanied by a signed declaration from the translator or translation agency. This certification confirms that the translation is accurate and that the translator is qualified. Certified translations are required for legal and official purposes, ensuring that the translated document is legally recognized by Canadian authorities.

In some cases, a certified translation must also be accompanied by a notarized affidavit for additional verification.

What Does a Certified Translation Include?

• Full Translation – A complete and accurate translation of the original document, with nothing omitted.
• Certification Statement – A signed declaration by the translator or agency affirming the translation’s accuracy.
• Translator’s Credentials – The name, contact details, and qualifications of the translator or agency for verification purposes.

When Do You Need a Certified Translation in Canada?

Certified translations are commonly required for a variety of legal, official, and professional purposes, including:

• Immigration Applications: The Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) requires certified translations for all non-English and non-French documents submitted for visa, permanent residency, or citizenship applications.
• Legal Proceedings: Canadian courts, lawyers, and notaries often require certified translations of contracts, affidavits, birth and marriage certificates, and other legal documents.
• Academic Submissions: Universities and academic institutions in Canada may request certified translations of transcripts, diplomas, and certificates for admissions and credential evaluations.
• Business and Corporate Documents: Companies may require certified translations for contracts, patents, financial documents, and compliance paperwork to meet Canadian and international regulations.
