## Translation Services in Ottawa

- Translation services in Ottawa for official use: we translate your documents into English or French, or into more than 30 other languages, with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public, the format IRCC accepts for immigration and citizenship. Everything is done online, and the translation arrives by email.

## Where Ottawa asks for a certified translation

- Ottawa is the capital of Canada, in Ontario, across the Ottawa River from Gatineau, Quebec. When a document is not in English or French, these are the offices that most often ask for a translation:

- IRCC, for permanent residence, Express Entry, study and work permits and citizenship, by online application
- The City of Ottawa client service centres, including the one at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, for the marriage licence
- DriveTest centres, for the exchange of a foreign driver’s licence
- The Office of the Registrar General and ServiceOntario, for Ontario birth, marriage and death certificates
- The Ontario courts at the Ottawa Courthouse on Elgin Street, the Supreme Court of Canada, the University of Ottawa and Carleton University, federal departments, banks and employers

## IRCC, and the offices in Ottawa 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.
- Ottawa works in both official languages. For the marriage licence, the City accepts identification and divorce documents in English or French; documents in any other language need an official translation. 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.

## Brazilians and Spanish speakers in Ottawa

- Ottawa had 259,215 immigrants in the 2021 census, 25.9% of its population. Arabic is the most common mother tongue after English and French, followed by Mandarin, and 14,140 residents have Spanish as their mother tongue. 1,980 immigrants were born in Brazil. The Embassy of Brazil, with its consular section, is in Ottawa.
- For a Canadian document going to Brazil, such as a birth or marriage certificate to be registered at a Brazilian registry office, the translation must be the Brazilian sworn translation (tradução juramentada), done by a sworn translator in Brazil. We provide that too.

## Did you know? Ottawa

- Ottawa was called Bytown until 1855, when it became a city and took its present name. On the last day of 1857, Queen Victoria’s choice of Ottawa as the capital of the Province of Canada was announced, and the city’s population nearly tripled in the next two decades.
- Ottawa lives in two languages: in the 2021 census, 36.4% of its residents could speak both English and French, and 12.5% had French as their mother tongue. Across the river, Gatineau is already in Quebec.
