A Translation Nobody Trusts Is Worse Than None

Courts, IRCC and foreign authorities do not accept just any translation. The wrong kind, or an improperly supported one, gets a whole application sent back.

Why ordinary translations are not enough

When you submit a document in another language to a court, to IRCC, or to a foreign authority, they usually require a certified translation, and often supporting proof such as a translator's affidavit sworn before a commissioner or notary. A casual or self-made translation is routinely rejected.

What makes a translation acceptable

Requirements vary by institution, but they generally want a complete and accurate translation together with a statement or affidavit attesting to its accuracy. For immigration documents in particular, an improperly certified translation can delay or undermine an application.

The problem usually surfaces at submission, when a deadline is close and there is no time to redo the work. A translation that is not supported the way the institution requires can send an otherwise complete application back to the start.

Supported the way the institution requires

We help ensure translations are properly certified and supported by the right sworn affidavit, so they are accepted by the court, government or authority that asked for them.

供官方使用的核证翻译与公证

法院、IRCC 与外国机构,不会接受随便一份翻译。用错类型、或支持不当,会让整份申请被退回。

为什么普通翻译不够

当你向法院、IRCC 或外国机构提交一份外语文件时,它们通常要求“核证翻译”,并常要配套证明,如在监誓专员或公证人面前宣誓的译者誓章。随意的、或自制的翻译,常被退回。

怎样的翻译才会被接受

各机构要求不一,但一般都要一份完整准确的翻译,连同一份证明其准确性的陈述或誓章。尤其对移民文件,核证不当的翻译可能延误或削弱申请。

问题通常在提交时才浮现,期限临近、已无时间返工。一份未按机构要求予以支持的翻译,可能把一份本已齐备的申请打回起点。

按机构要求予以支持

我们协助确保翻译被妥当核证、并以正确的宣誓誓章予以支持,使其被要求它的法院、政府或机构所接受。
