What IRCC checks

Check the translation package before you upload

Requirements vary by program. Follow the current guide, document checklist and the instructions in your application portal.

Common requirements

  • A qualified translator who is not the applicant, a prohibited family member, representative or consultant
  • The complete document: main text, every stamp, seal, handwritten note and any apostille
  • A scan of the original or a certified copy, as required by the specific program
  • For Express Entry: a certified translator’s stamp and membership number or, only if a certified translator cannot complete it, a translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public or authorized commissioner of oaths in Canada; outside Canada, before a notary public or equivalent

Common reasons for problems

  • A translation made by you, the applicant
  • A translation made by a prohibited family member, representative or consultant
  • A missing affidavit, certified copy or original scan when the program requires it
  • A summary, partial translation, missing stamp or untranslated handwritten note

Translation for provincial programs

Provincial and federal IRCC requirements may differ. Check the rules for your stream and your application document checklist.

Manitoba · MPNP

MPNP permits a certified translator or another person with the necessary skills, subject to restrictions on relatives and representatives. A translator’s affidavit sworn before an authorized person is required; provide a notarized photocopy of the original as specified in the checklist.

Official MPNP requirements →

Ontario · OINP

Applying from Ontario: use an ATIO-certified translator. If none is available for your language, another translator requires notarization and a letter documenting your search. Applying from outside Ontario: another translator with notarization is permitted. Ontario-based services must use ATIO translators. OINP may require an unacceptable notarized translation to be redone by an ATIO translator.

Official OINP requirements →

Alberta · AAIP

AAIP accepts English or French documents. For other languages, check the translation requirements in the current Document Checklist for your stream. Federal PR rules do not automatically apply to a provincial application.

Official AAIP checklists →

British Columbia · BC PNP

Open the current Program Guide and Application Guide for your pathway — Skills Immigration or Entrepreneur Immigration. Check their requirements for the translator, certification and document upload.

Official BC PNP guides →

Saskatchewan · SINP

For Employment Offer, the checklist requires the original copy, an English or French translation and the translator’s affidavit. It also requires certification of the translator by a regulatory body. Use the SINP Translator Affidavit form and check your stream’s checklist.

Official SINP requirements →

Send the program name and its instructions with your documents — we will check the required translation format before confirming an order. More about provincial programs →

Checked: October 8, 2026. Current official instructions and your personalized document checklist take priority.

Before you pay anyone

Check whether your application needs an apostille

For many IRCC applications, an apostille is not part of the translation package. The exact requirements depend on the program and your document checklist, so confirm the destination before paying for one.

If a Ukrainian document does need an apostille, we arrange it in Ukraine together with the translation. Apostilles on Canadian documents are issued by the competent provincial authorities or Global Affairs Canada; we do not issue them.

Not sure which case is yours? Ask us first.

Questions and answers

What people ask most

IRCC says “translations by certified translators” — do you qualify?

No. We are not certified translators and do not claim to be. For Express Entry, IRCC asks for a translation stamped by a certified translator with a membership number. Only if a certified translator cannot complete it may the translation instead be accompanied by the translator's affidavit. In Canada, the oath may be taken before a notary public, commissioner of oaths or commissioner of taking affidavits; outside Canada, before a notary public or equivalent. We arrange an affidavit sworn before a notary when your application instructions permit that route. See IRCC's instructions. Our detailed guide: IRCC translation requirements.

Does IRCC accept your translations?

For Express Entry, a complete translation with the translator's affidavit may be used only if a certified translator cannot complete the translation. Requirements differ by program and by your personalized document checklist. We check the applicable instructions before confirming an order; no provider can guarantee an immigration decision.

What is the difference between your stamp and notarial certification?

They are two separate services. Our stamp confirms the translation is complete and accurate — 25 CAD per document. The notary certifies the translator’s signature — 20 CAD for each document. Some authorities ask for both, so we price them separately.

Do Ukrainian documents need an apostille for Canada?

Check the requirements of the receiving authority and your application checklist. An apostille and a translation serve different purposes; neither automatically replaces the other. We arrange apostilles on Ukrainian documents when needed. Apostilles on Canadian documents are issued by the competent provincial authorities or Global Affairs Canada, not by us.

What does it cost for several documents?

Each document is 25 CAD, and notarial certification is 20 CAD per document rather than per order. Diploma transcripts, employment record books and military service records are priced separately — we confirm the cost once we see the files.

Can I send a photo taken on my phone?

Yes, as long as it is clear: all four corners visible, text readable, no glare or shadows. A scan works too. If the quality is not good enough to work with, we tell you straight away.

How long does it take?

One business day for standard documents. We reply every day, including evenings and weekends, so your request will not sit until Monday.
