• 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.

-If you need a stamp, you can ask a border services officer for one. If you arrive at an airport that uses primary inspection kiosks, ask the border services officer after you finish at the kiosk.

-If you wish to overstay your authorized stay, you must request an extension at least 30 days before the authorized end of your stay.

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.
