Who can provide sworn translations for immigration purposes in Canada?

Translations for immigration purposes in Canada must be done by a qualified professional. The translator must have experience in both the source and target language (usually English or French). Some recognized authorities that can perform sworn translations are:

  • Sworn translators accredited by a Canadian provincial or territorial regulatory body.
  • Membership in a recognized translation association, such as the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO) or the Canadian Council of Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters (CTTIC).
  • Translation services authorized by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
  • Translators from outside Canada who are accredited (officially recognized or authorized) in the country where the translation is being done. An affidavit must be included stating that the translation is an accurate version of the original text. The translator does so before a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country where he/she resides. The commissioner or notary public must be fluent in English or French in order to administer the oath.
  • Notary publics or attorneys authorized to certify translations.
