Certified Translator in Canada
A certified translator in Canada is a translator certified by a provincial association, such as ATIO in Ontario or OTTIAQ in Quebec, and in some provinces the title is protected by law. IRCC also accepts a translation by a translator who is not certified in Canada, when it comes with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public outside Canada.

What does “certified translator” mean in Canada?
In Canada, translators are certified by the association of their province: ATIO in Ontario, OTTIAQ in Quebec, STIBC in British Columbia, ATIA in Alberta and their sister associations, which together form the Canadian Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters Council (CTTIC). In Ontario the title “certified translator” has been reserved by law for ATIO’s certified members since 1989.
Roxo is not a member of any Canadian association, and we do not call ourselves certified translators in Canada. Our credential is membership of the American Translators Association (ATA).
When IRCC accepts a translator who is not certified in Canada
For applications to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (permanent residence, Express Entry, study and work permits, citizenship), IRCC accepts a translation by a member in good standing of a professional association in Canada or abroad. Without that, it accepts the translation with an affidavit from the translator, sworn before a notary public outside Canada, together with a certified copy of the original. A relative of the applicant cannot translate or take the oath. This is the format of our IRCC translation.
When you need a translator certified in your province
Some provincial and local offices ask for a translator certified in Canada. Check the instructions of the office that will receive your document before you order, for example:
- Provincial nominee programs, such as Nova Scotia’s, and Yukon programs that ask for a certified translator
- Courts and tribunals, which may ask for a translator certified in the province
- The driver’s licence exchange, which in Ontario accepts consulates and qualified translators who show their credentials
- Marriage licences, which in Toronto ask for a translation by a certified translator
Who translates your documents at Roxo
Each document goes to a translator native in the target language with experience of official documents, and then to a second translator, who checks names, dates and numbers against the original. The translator then signs the affidavit before a notary public in Florida, at no extra cost, and you receive the certified translation by email as a PDF.

What is a certified translator in Canada? Do I need one?
In Canada, a certified translator is a translator certified by a provincial association, such as ATIO in Ontario or OTTIAQ in Quebec; in Ontario the title is reserved by law. For IRCC you do not need one: IRCC also accepts a translation with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public outside Canada. Some provincial offices, courts and city offices may ask for a translator certified in the province, so check their instructions. Roxo is not a member of any Canadian association.
Is there an IRCC-approved or IRCC-certified translator?
No. IRCC does not approve, accredit or list translators or translation companies. It sets the format: a translator who is a member of a professional association, or a translation with the translator’s affidavit. Be wary of anyone who promises an “IRCC-approved translator”.
Does IRCC accept translations done outside Canada?
Yes. The rule accepts a translator who is 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. That is the Roxo format: the affidavit is sworn before a Florida notary public.
Can a family member translate my documents for IRCC?
No. IRCC does not accept translations done by the applicant or by a family member, such as parents, children, spouse or partner, siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces and first cousins, even when the relative is a translator.
Is the translation done by people or by machine?
By people. Every document is translated by a professional linguist and goes through double human review for accuracy, grammar, formatting and consistency before delivery.
