What Is a Certified Translation?
A certified translation is an accurate, complete version of an original document rendered into another language by a professional translator. Institutions and government agencies depend on this process to make informed decisions, and specific requirements may vary depending on the authority involved.
The translator also provides a signed certificate of accuracy, confirming the translated document faithfully reflects the original document. This certification may be accompanied by:
- A translator's stamp and signature
- A certificate of accuracy
- A notarized affidavit (if required).
📖According to Canada’s official definition:
A certified translator is a member in good standing of a professional translation association in Canada or abroad. Their certification must be confirmed by a seal or stamp that shows the translator's membership number.
Certified translations are required for:
- Immigration applications(PR, citizenship, work & study permits)
- Education credentials(transcripts, diplomas, academic applications)
- Personal records(birth, marriage certificates, death certificates)
- Legal documents
- Driver’s licences & civil status documents
- Employment records, insurance forms, and business certificates
What We Offer as a Professional Translation Agency

Our translation agency ensures that each original document is handled with care and meets all institutional standards. Our translations are:
- Certified by a professional translator, Commissioner of Oaths, or Notary Public

Frequently Asked Questions
In this block you can get answers to common questions.
A sworn translation is typically performed by a translator officially appointed by a government or court—common in countries like France or Spain. In Canada, there’s no sworn translator system. Instead, we offer certified translations that are accepted by legal and government bodies. If you're submitting documents within Canada, a certified translation prepared by a member of a recognized association of translators and interpreters (like ATIO or OTTIAQ) is the legal standard.
Yes — our certified translations are accepted globally when they meet the specific requirements of the receiving institution. For many countries that are members of the Hague Convention, we can include a notary affidavit and apostille as needed. We ensure you submit certified translations that are fully compliant and respected by international authorities.
Absolutely. Our certified translations are designed to support an immigration application and meet the standards of Canada Revenue Agency, IRCC, provincial ministries, and more. If you're applying within Canada, we know exactly what format and certification you need.
Yes. Every certified translation comes with a certificate of translation accuracy or a similar document, including a statement from the translator confirming that the translation is complete and accurate. This is essential for translations that are accepted by courts, universities, and licensing boards.
The cost of a certified translation depends on the level of certification required. Standard certified translations start at C$58, translations certified by a member of a society of translators and interpreters (such as STIBC or ATIO) start from C$88, and notarized translations may include an additional C$75 notarization fee.
Our translators are certified by major Canadian associations, such as:
ATIO (Ontario)
OTTIAQ (Quebec)
STIBC (Translators and Interpreters of British Columbia)
ATIA, ATIM, ATINS, CTTIC and others
We also work with professionals accredited by the American Translators Association when your destination country or institution prefers U.S.-recognized credentials.

In rare cases, a translation cannot be certified — for example, if the source document is clearly photoshopped, incomplete, unclear, or illegible. In such cases, we’ll inform you before proceeding and advise on possible solutions, such as providing a notarized declaration of what can and cannot be translated.
