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.

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

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.
