Certified Translator in Quebec City
A certified translator in Quebec City is, by Quebec law, a member of OTTIAQ, the professional order that grants the reserved title of traducteur agréé (certified translator). For IRCC you can also use a translator who is not certified in Canada, when the translation comes with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public outside Canada, which is how we work: online, with the translation sent by email.

Do you need a translator certified in Quebec?
For IRCC, no. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada accepts a translation by a member of a professional association in Canada or abroad, or a translation with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public outside Canada, with a certified copy of the original. It does not ask for a translator in Quebec City.
Quebec City trains translators at Université Laval, which offers the Baccalauréat spécialisé en traduction and the Maîtrise en traduction et terminologie, both recognized by OTTIAQ for certification. OTTIAQ, the professional order that certifies translators in Quebec, has its office in Montreal.
Some offices in the city ask for more, such as the marriage licence and some courts. Roxo is not a member of OTTIAQ or of any Canadian association: our credential is membership of the American Translators Association (ATA). If an office asks for an OTTIAQ-certified translator, check with them before you order.
Notaries and affidavits in Quebec City
In Quebec, the notaire is a civil law jurist and a public officer who drafts authentic acts, a different role from the notary public of the rest of Canada and the United States. An affidavit is sworn before a commissioner for oaths (commissaire à l’assermentation), appointed by the Minister of Justice, or before a lawyer, a notaire or a court clerk. A commissioner cannot certify that a copy is true to the original.
IRCC asks for the affidavit to be sworn before a notary public outside Canada when the translator is not certified in Canada. Ours is sworn before a notary public in Florida, USA, at no extra cost (see notarized translation). If an office in Quebec City asks for a Quebec notary (notaire), check with them before you order.
How to choose a certified translator in Quebec City
Whether the translator works in Quebec City or online, check that:
- The office that receives the document accepts that kind of translator: OTTIAQ member, or translator with an affidavit
- The translation is complete, with the translator’s name and signature, and the affidavit sworn before a notary
- The translator is native in the target language and a second person reviews the translation
- You can see the price and the delivery date before you pay, and nobody in your family translates the documents

What is a certified translator in Canada? Do I need one?
In Canada, a certified translator is a translator certified by a provincial association, such as ATIO in Ontario or OTTIAQ in Quebec; in Ontario the title is reserved by law. For IRCC you do not need one: IRCC also accepts a translation with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public outside Canada. Some provincial offices, courts and city offices may ask for a translator certified in the province, so check their instructions. Roxo is not a member of any Canadian association.
Is there an IRCC-approved or IRCC-certified translator?
No. IRCC does not approve, accredit or list translators or translation companies. It sets the format: a translator who is a member of a professional association, or a translation with the translator’s affidavit. Be wary of anyone who promises an “IRCC-approved translator”.
Does IRCC accept translations done outside Canada?
Yes. The rule accepts a translator who is a member of a professional association in Canada or abroad, or a translation with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public outside Canada. That is the Roxo format: the affidavit is sworn before a Florida notary public.
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.
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.
