Start with the Canadian programme or organisation that will receive your documents. A move, a study application and professional recognition can involve different recipients. Record the purpose of each request and keep its current instructions with the relevant files.<\/p>\n
For example, IRCC\u2019s Express Entry instructions<\/a> explain that the online application produces a personalised document checklist. Use your own checklist, rather than assuming another applicant\u2019s document set will be the same.<\/p>\n IRCC\u2019s general supporting-document guidance<\/a> says documents must be in English or French unless instructed otherwise. Its general translation requirements include an affidavit and a certified photocopy of the original document. Read these alongside the instructions for your particular application.<\/p>\n For Express Entry, the published instructions describe a translation stamped by a certified translator, or an affidavit route only where a certified translator cannot complete it. They also specify the source-document scan. Share the relevant instructions before asking us to arrange a translation; Dutch sworn status alone should not be treated as proof that every programme\u2019s requirements are met.<\/p>\n Give each requested document a clear filename and include all relevant pages, seals and stamps. Identify which original or copy the translator will work from, and keep it paired with the translation in your records.<\/p>\n Our birth certificate translation<\/a> and marriage certificate translation<\/a> services are useful starting points when those records appear on your checklist and need translation.<\/p>\n If you also need documents for a school, employer or professional body, obtain that organisation\u2019s instructions separately. Identify the records and versions it wants, including any transcript or supporting statement.<\/p>\n Use our diploma and transcript translation service<\/a> for an enquiry about education records. The document preparation checklist<\/a> helps you assemble clear files and reference material for the work.<\/p>\nConfirm the language and translator requirements<\/h2>\n
