Halifax

## Certified Translator in Halifax

- A certified translator in Halifax is a translator certified by ATINS, the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Nova Scotia. 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 Halifax, 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 Nova Scotia?

- 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 Halifax.
- We could not confirm an active translation degree in Halifax: Dalhousie University’s French programme includes a course in general translation, and the translation programme of the Université Sainte-Anne is suspended. ATINS, the association that certifies translators in Nova Scotia, runs its own certification exam and is a member of CTTIC.
- Some offices in the city ask for more, such as the marriage licence and some courts. Roxo is not a member of ATINS or of any Canadian association: our credential is membership of the American Translators Association (ATA). If an office asks for an ATINS-certified translator, check with them before you order.

## Notaries and affidavits in Halifax

- In Nova Scotia, notaries public are appointed by the Minister of Justice under the Notaries and Commissioners Act, and only practising lawyers and members of the legislature can be appointed. The Minister also appoints commissioners of oaths, and some professionals, such as barristers of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, are commissioners automatically.
- 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 Halifax asks for a Nova Scotia notary, check with them before you order.

## How to choose a certified translator in Halifax

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

- The office that receives the document accepts that kind of translator: ATINS 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
