IRCC, and the offices in Iqaluit 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.

Nunavut is the one place in Canada, with Quebec, without a provincial nominee program, so most immigration paperwork follows IRCC’s rule: a translation by a certified translator or, if not possible, a translation with the translator’s affidavit, which is our format. We found no published translation rule from Motor Vehicles, Vital Statistics or the Nunavut Court of Justice, and the official languages of the territory are Inuktut (Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun), English and French.

Check with the territorial office that will receive your document before you order. Nunavut has no translators’ association of its own, and Roxo is not a member of any Canadian association.

Did you know? Iqaluit

Iqaluit means “place of many fish” in Inuktitut. Between 1955 and 1987 the settlement was called Frobisher Bay, so older documents may carry that name, before it officially went back to its Inuktitut name.

Iqaluit was chosen in December 1995 as the capital of the new territory of Nunavut, which was created on 1 April 1999, and it became a city in 2001.
