IRCC, and the offices in Markham 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 Markham asks that all identification be in English or French or come with a translation certified by ATIO. A divorce granted outside Canada needs a Foreign Divorce Authorization from Ontario, which can take up to four weeks. 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.

Roxo is not a member of ATIO, so for the marriage licence in Markham you will need an ATIO-certified translator. For DriveTest and IRCC, our translation with the translator’s affidavit may be enough: check with the office before you order.

Did you know? Markham

Markham began with immigrants who did not speak English: in the 1790s, the German-born merchant William Berczy brought a group of settlers, mostly from northern Germany, and in 1804 Peter Reesor led Pennsylvania Germans who founded Reesorville, later renamed Markham.

Cantonese is the mother tongue of 71,905 people in Markham, 21.3% of the city, and Mandarin of 49,380: more than one resident in three grew up speaking a Chinese language, according to the 2021 census.
