IRCC Translation for Canadian Immigration

IRCC translation is a certified translation prepared to the rules of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the federal immigration department. For each document that is not in English or French, IRCC asks for the translation, an affidavit from the translator and a certified copy of the original.

IRCC translation requirements

IRCC accepts a translation done by a certified translator, meaning a member in good standing of a professional translation association in Canada or abroad, with a stamp that shows the membership number. Any other translator must swear an affidavit that the translation is accurate. Outside Canada, the affidavit is taken by a notary public or equivalent.

IRCC does not approve or list translation companies: it accepts the translation that follows these rules. Our IRCC translations include the translator's affidavit, sworn before a Florida notary public.

Who cannot translate your documents

You cannot translate your own documents, and neither can a family member: parents, children, spouse or partner, siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces and first cousins. The person who takes the affidavit cannot be a family member either.

What does IRCC require for translated documents?

For each document that is not in English or French, IRCC asks for the translation, an affidavit from the translator and a certified copy of the original. The affidavit is not needed when the translator is a member in good standing of a professional translation association, in Canada or abroad. IRCC does not approve or list translation companies.

Does IRCC require a notarized translation?

IRCC asks for an affidavit from the translator, sworn before someone authorized to take oaths; outside Canada, that is a notary public. Our translations for Canada include the translator’s affidavit, sworn before a Florida notary public, at no extra cost.

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.

Do you do certified translations for Canada?

Yes. We translate your documents into English with a certificate of accuracy and the translator’s affidavit, sworn before a Florida notary public, the format Canada accepts for translations done outside the country. The deadline is the same as our certified translation in the United States.

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.
