## Translation Services in Vancouver

- Translation services in Vancouver 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.

## Certified translations for IRCC, the courts and universities

- Certified translation with the translator’s affidavit, sworn before a notary public
- Human translation, checked by a second translator
- Sent as a PDF by email, with a printed copy by mail to any Vancouver address on request

## Where Vancouver asks for a certified translation

- Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia. 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
- Service BC offices and authorized marriage licence issuers, for the marriage licence
- ICBC driver licensing offices, for the exchange of a foreign driver’s licence
- The B. C. Vital Statistics Agency, for B. C. birth, marriage and death certificates and legal changes of name
- B. C. courts, the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University’s Vancouver campus, banks, employers and landlords

## IRCC, and the offices in Vancouver 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.
- Two B. C. offices have rules of their own. ICBC, which exchanges foreign driver’s licences, decides by country whether a translation is needed: a licence from Brazil does not need one, while licences from Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and Peru do, and the translation must come from an ICBC-approved translator or a consulate in B. C. For B. C. documents going abroad, the province’s authentication office accepts translations by a translator certified by STIBC or another CTTIC society, or by a B. C. notary, notarized together with the original.
- Check with ICBC or the office that will receive your document before you order: ICBC works with translators it has approved, other B. C. offices may ask for a translator certified in B. C., and Roxo is not a member of STIBC.

## Brazilians and Spanish speakers in Vancouver

- Vancouver had 274,360 immigrants in the 2021 census, 42.2% of its population. Cantonese, Mandarin and Tagalog are the non-official languages most spoken at home, and Spanish comes fourth, with 8,600 people. 2,530 residents were born in Brazil and 3,785 report Brazilian origin. The Consulate General of Brazil is on Melville Street, and Mexico’s is on West Hastings Street.
- 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? Vancouver

- In Vancouver, Cantonese still leads Mandarin: 54,920 residents speak Cantonese most often at home, against 30,925 for Mandarin, and 77,435 have it as their mother tongue, the largest non-official mother tongue in the city.
- Consular officers of more than 80 countries work in British Columbia, most of them in Vancouver, and ICBC accepts the translation of a foreign driver’s licence or driving record made by a consulate in the province.
