IRCC, and the offices in St. John’s 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 province asks for the original of any document in a foreign language plus a notarized translation, and a divorced applicant brings the original Decree Absolute or Certificate of Divorce. For a foreign driver’s licence that is not in English or French, Motor Registration asks for an English translation, and the Registrar can approve translators for that purpose. The Newfoundland and Labrador Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) accepts a translation by a Canadian certified translator or with the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public, the format we deliver.

Check with Motor Registration or Vital Statistics whether they will accept our translation before you order. The province has no translators’ association of its own, and Roxo is not a member of any Canadian association.

On 12 December 1901, Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal on Signal Hill, above St. John’s harbour: the letter S in Morse code, sent from Cornwall, in England.
