IRCC, and the offices in Hamilton with rules of their own

For IRCC, a translation by a translator who is not certified in Canada is accepted when it comes with the translator’s affidavit, sworn before a notary public outside Canada, and a certified copy of the original. That is our IRCC translation.

For the marriage licence, the City of Hamilton asks for a written translation by a certified translator of any identification not in English, and for a divorce granted outside Canada, documents not in English or French need a translated copy with an affidavit sworn by the translator. For a foreign driver’s licence, Ontario accepts translations by foreign embassies and consulates and by qualified translators who show their credentials, dated within six months of the application.

Check with the City or DriveTest whether they will accept our translation before you order: they may ask for a translator certified in Ontario, and Roxo is not a member of ATIO.

Did you know? Hamilton

Hamilton was a village called Head of the Lake until George Hamilton bought land there in 1815, laid out the streets and sold lots to newcomers; the town was renamed in his honour, became a city in 1846 and grew into Canada’s largest steel producer.

Steel brought the world to Hamilton: after the Second World War, Dutch, German, Italian and Polish immigration peaked in 1954, and in the 2021 census the United Kingdom was still the most common birthplace of the city’s immigrants.
