## Certified Translator in Calgary

- A certified translator in Calgary is, in practice, a translator certified by ATIA, the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Alberta. The title is not protected by law in Alberta, and ATIA has been asking the province for that protection. 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 Calgary, signed by professional translators

- A translator native in the target language, and a second translator checking every page
- The translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public in Florida, USA, as IRCC accepts
- Roxo is a Corporate Member of the American Translators Association (ATA)

## Do you need a translator certified in Alberta?

- 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 Calgary.
- ATIA, the association that certifies translators and interpreters in Alberta, was founded in 1979 and has its office in Edmonton.
- Some offices in the city ask for more, such as the marriage licence and some courts. Roxo is not a member of ATIA or of any Canadian association: our credential is membership of the American Translators Association (ATA). If an office asks for an ATIA-certified translator, check with them before you order.

## Notaries and affidavits in Calgary

- In Alberta, lawyers and students-at-law are notaries public by their status, and the Ministry of Justice can appoint notaries who are not lawyers, under the Notaries and Commissioners Act. A notary can also act as a commissioner for oaths and take affidavits, but a commissioner for oaths cannot act as a notary.
- 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 Calgary asks for an Alberta notary, check with them before you order.

## How to choose a certified translator in Calgary

- Whether the translator works in Calgary or online, check that:

- The office that receives the document accepts that kind of translator: ATIA member, or translator with an affidavit
- The translation is complete, with the translator’s name and signature, and the affidavit sworn before a notary
- The translator is native in the target language and a second person reviews the translation
- You can see the price and the delivery date before you pay, and nobody in your family translates the documents
