Burnaby

## Certified Translator in Burnaby

- A certified translator in Burnaby is a translator certified by STIBC, the Society of Translators and Interpreters of British Columbia: Certified Translator is a protected occupational title in B. C., and only certified STIBC members may use it. For IRCC you can also use a translator who is not certified in Canada, when the translation comes with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public outside Canada, which is how we work: online, with the translation sent by email.

## Translations for Burnaby, signed by professional translators

- Roxo is a Corporate Member of the American Translators Association (ATA)

## Do you need a translator certified in British Columbia?

- For IRCC, no. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada accepts a translation by a member of a professional association in Canada or abroad, or a translation with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public outside Canada, with a certified copy of the original. It does not ask for a translator in Burnaby.
- STIBC, the association that certifies translators in British Columbia, has its office in nearby Vancouver. Its members have been working since 1981, and their titles have been protected in B. C. since 2015.
- Some offices in the city ask for more, such as the marriage licence and some courts. Roxo is not a member of STIBC or of any Canadian association: our credential is membership of the American Translators Association (ATA). If an office asks for an STIBC-certified translator, check with them before you order.

## Notaries and affidavits in Burnaby

- In British Columbia, every practising lawyer is also a notary public, and the province has notaries public who are not lawyers, under the Notaries Act. Lawyers and notaries are commissioners for taking affidavits by virtue of their office, under the Evidence Act, and the province appoints other commissioners for limited purposes.
- IRCC asks for the affidavit to be sworn before a notary public outside Canada when the translator is not certified in Canada. Ours is sworn before a notary public in Florida, USA, at no extra cost (see notarized translation). If an office in Burnaby asks for a B. C. notary, check with them before you order.
