Certified Translation

What is Certified Translation?

Certified translation involves translating a document from one language to another while providing a formal certification attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the translation.

This certification typically includes the translator's signature, contact information, and a statement affirming that the translation is accurate to the best of their knowledge and ability.

Notarized Translation:

For certain languages where certified translators may not be readily available, we engage experienced translators to translate the document and then proceed to have the translated document notarized. However, it's important to verify with the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) or your immigration consultant whether this alternative method would be acceptable.
