When you plan to move to Canada, it is advisable to prepare certified translations of the necessary documents in advance. Most of the documents that you may need for various processes in Canada do not need to be notarized. However, such documents need to be translated with the stamp of a certified translator.
Also, in some circumstances, such as for employment or for further study, you may need a comparative assessment of diplomas, which takes into account the names of the subjects and the length of study in each of them. As a result, the equivalent of your education in Canada will be known. This procedure will also require certified translations.
When applying for permanent residence, certified translations of documents into one of the official languages of the country are also required. The list of such documents depends on the immigration program.
If you intend to use any document abroad of Canada, when it is prepared in Canada and is written in the language of your country, you will also need a certified translation into English or French for the further legalization process.
