Frequently Asked Questions (Certified Translations)

Q: Does IRCC require a certified translation or a notarized translation?
A: According to IRCC guidelines, any document not in English or French must be accompanied by an official English or French translation, along with an Affidavit of Translation sworn before a Notary Public (unless translated by a certified Canadian translator affiliated with a recognized provincial association like ATIO). Canada Notary provides both options to ensure 100% compliance.

Q: What is an Affidavit of Translation?
A: An Affidavit of Translation is a formal statutory declaration signed by the translator before an appointed Notary Public or Commissioner of Oaths, swearing under oath that the translation is a true, complete, and accurate representation of the original foreign language document.

Q: Can I translate the document myself and have you notarize it?
A: No. Under IRCC and Ontario legal guidelines, the applicant, their family members, immigration representatives, or lawyers cannot translate the applicant’s own documents. The translation must be completed by an independent professional translator.

Q: How quickly can I get my certified translation completed?
A: Standard turnaround for 1 to 3 page documents (such as birth or marriage certificates) is 24 to 48 hours. Same-day urgent express service is available upon request.
