When submitting translated documents for immigration purposes, it is important to follow the guidelines provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Here are some general guidelines:

‍

• Include the original document along with its translation.
• Make sure that each translated page includes a statement signed by the translator or translation service certifying its accuracy and completeness.
• The translator must provide his or her full name, affidavit and stamps.
• If the translation has been done by a sworn translator or a member of a recognized association, please include information about their certification or membership.
• It is essential to check the specific requirements set forth by the IRCC or consult with an attorney or immigration consultant to ensure that you meet all necessary translation and documentation requirements.

No, you must have your study permit, work visa or permanent status in Canada in order to open your account.

Please note that there is a separate service for driver's license translations, please check here. here our detailed service catalog prior to purchase.

If you are married, attach your marriage certificate or marriage registration, it is not advisable to apply for the visa if your marriage took place within the last 3 months. It is suggested to apply after 4 months (or more) after getting married so that the document gains seniority. 

If your marriage certificate has been issued recently (less than 4 months, prior to this application), Immiland strongly recommends providing supporting documentation to reinforce the genuineness of your relationship and to avoid suspicion on the official when evaluating your marriage relationship due to the recent celebration of the marriage.

The elements that can be used as evidence to prove the genuineness of your marriage are any of the following:

• Shared ownership of a residential property
• Joint leases or leases in the name of both parties
• Bills for shared or individual utility bills (one old and one new) showing the same residence address, such as:
• Important documents for both showing the same address, such as:

• driving licenses
• insurance policies
• identification documents

If you are in a common-law marriage, it is IMPERATIVE to make an affidavit on the form recognized by Canada. Immiland Canada can provide the service of declaration of common-law marriage: https://www.immilandcanada.com/declaracion-jurada/declaracion-jurada-de-union-libre. Extrajudicial declarations made in your home country DO NOT REPLACE this document.

Additionally, we recommend accompanying the declaration of free union in the Canadian forms of proof of your union. Please refer to the examples mentioned above for fresh marriages.

If you are married or cohabiting, but traveling alone, you may optionally provide us with the marriage certificate or cohabitation certificate, the reason being that this would strengthen your social roots.
