What IRCC asks for
When a document for an IRCC application is not in English or French, IRCC asks for a translation together with a copy of the original document.
A translation by a certified translator who is a member in good standing of a Canadian provincial association, such as ATIO, does not need a separate affidavit from the translator.
Requirements can differ between applications, so always follow the document checklist for your own application on the Government of Canada website.
Driver's licence translation, accepted by DriveTest Centres
One of the most common reasons clients come to us is exchanging an Arabic driver's licence for an Ontario licence. Our certified Arabic to English translations of driver's licences are accepted by DriveTest Centres.
Bring your original licence together with our certified translation, and check DriveTest's current list of required documents before your visit.
Other uses for a certified translation
Certified translations are also needed by provincial offices, courts, universities, professional regulators and employers. If you are not sure what the receiving office accepts, ask them before you order, or call us and we will help you check.
