Translation of Documents

[Denise13]

Translations may be done by a person who is fluent in both languages (English or French and the unofficial language).

If the translation isn’t done by a member in good standing of a provincial or territorial organization of translators and interpreters in Canada, you must submit an affidavit swearing to the accuracy of the translation and the language proficiency of the translator. A certified translator will provide both a certified translation and certified copies of the original documents.

The affidavit must be sworn in the presence of:

In Canada:

• a notary public
• a commissioner of oaths
• a commissioner of taking affidavit

Outside of Canada:

• a notary public

Question: Does this also apply to our documented proof of contact such as social media conversations and printed text messages? I get it that it needs to be translated in English but does it have to be done by a certified translator?

No. You can do the translation yourself.
