What CTTIC certification means
In Canada, certification is tied to the translator’s professional body.
CTTIC supports national standards for translation certification across Canada. Provincial and territorial member societies such as ATIO, OTTIAQ, STIBC, ATIA, ATIS and ATIM grant professional titles such as Certified Translator, and many Canadian submissions rely on those credentials.
Get Instant QuoteCanadian member bodyThe credential belongs to the individual translator through a recognized provincial or territorial professional body.
English or FrenchCanadian official submissions usually require documents to be translated into one of Canada’s official languages.
Affidavit if requiredIf your authority asks for a sworn statement or notarization, choose the option that matches those instructions.
Certified translator or affidavit
Choose the route your Canadian authority asks for.
For many Canadian submissions, the safest path is a translation by a certified translator from a recognized Canadian association. If the translator is not Canadian-certified, or if the translation is completed outside Canada, your authority may ask for an affidavit signed before a notary public or commissioner of oaths.
If your document will be used outside Canada or at an embassy, you may also need notarization, legalization or an apostille-style process depending on the destination country.

Good to know
Canadian certified translation questions.
Clear answers before you upload a document or pay for an order.
What is a CTTIC certified translation?
CTTIC is Canada’s national council for translators, terminologists and interpreters. Professional certification is typically granted through provincial or territorial member bodies such as ATIO, OTTIAQ, STIBC, ATIA, ATIS and ATIM.
Do Canadian immigration documents need to be translated?
IRCC generally requires supporting documents to be in English or French. If a document is in another language, it must be submitted with a translation and may also require an affidavit and a certified copy of the original, depending on the situation.
Will IRCC accept my translation?
Canadian requirements vary by program and receiving office. Translations prepared by certified translators are commonly used for IRCC submissions, but IRCC or the receiving authority makes the final acceptance decision.
Do I need English or French?
Most Canadian federal submissions require English or French. Choose the language required by the authority receiving your documents.
When is an affidavit needed?
An affidavit may be needed when the translator is not certified by a recognized Canadian professional body, when the translation is completed outside Canada, or when the receiving authority specifically asks for one. Check the instructions for your application before ordering.
Which Canadian bodies commonly request certified translations?
Common use cases include IRCC, Global Affairs Canada, passport applications, universities and colleges, courts, CRA, ESDC, licensing bodies, employers, banks, health authorities and provincial ministries.
Can I translate my own document?
For official Canadian submissions, translations by the applicant or family members are usually not accepted. Use a qualified translator and follow the receiving authority’s instructions.
How do I order?
