Certified translation is a specific type of translation required by government agencies, courts, and academic institutions when they need to rely on a translation for official purposes. The certification is a signed statement from a qualified translator confirming that the translation is accurate and complete.
In Canada, certified translations are commonly required for immigration applications to IRCC, provincial government submissions, academic transcript submissions to universities, and court filings. Each authority has specific requirements about who can certify translations and what the certification must include.
Our certified translations are prepared by translators who are qualified to sign certification statements for their language pair and document type. We include the full certification statement with every certified project, and we format the document to meet the requirements of the specific receiving institution.
We handle immigration documents regularly: birth certificates, marriage certificates, police clearances, academic records, and identity documents. For IRCC submissions, we are familiar with current documentation requirements and format our certifications accordingly.
