For many IRCC applications, a translation by a certified translator is the preferred route. IRCC defines a certified translator as a member in good standing of a professional translation association in Canada or abroad, with certification confirmed by a seal or stamp showing the translator's membership number.
It depends on the translation route and the requirements of your specific application. When a translation is completed by someone who is not a certified translator, IRCC may require an affidavit from the person who completed the translation confirming their language skills and the accuracy of the translation. Some application instructions specifically state that an affidavit is required.
No. IRCC does not permit applicants to translate their own documents. The translator must be someone other than the applicant and must meet the applicable translation requirements.
No. IRCC does not accept translations completed by family members. IRCC guidance also excludes certain representatives and consultants from translating an applicant's documents.
An IRCC certified translator is generally a translator who is a member in good standing of a professional translation association in Canada or abroad. Their certification must be confirmed through a seal or stamp showing their membership number.
You generally need to provide the translation together with the required copy of the original document. Depending on the application, IRCC may require a scan of the original document or a certified photocopy of the original that the translator worked from. Always follow the document checklist for your specific application.
