Before you order any translation, identify whether your assessment will go to Alberta's IQAS, an IRCC-designated ECA organization, or another Canadian credential assessment service such as WES, CES, or ICAS. Each authority publishes its own document requirements, and those instructions decide whether you need a certified translation, a notarized copy, or both. Save the checklist and share it with your translator so the final package matches the authority's file format.
Credential assessment is usually based on the full academic history, so translators should work from complete transcripts, mark sheets, degree certificates, diplomas, and any school-leaving documents. Translating only the final certificate can leave evaluators without the course, credit, and progression details they need. If a document is two-sided or has stamps, seals, or handwritten notes, include those pages in the scan and ask the translator to account for them accurately.
Many Canadian authorities expect a signed certification statement from the translator or translation service. The statement should identify the language pair, confirm that the translation is complete and accurate, and include the translator's credentials or affiliation where required. In Alberta, applicants should also check whether the receiving body wants the certification attached to each translated document or grouped in one cover declaration.
Small mismatches can trigger additional document requests. Compare the translated education records against your passport, study permits, and other translated civil documents so names, birth dates, and institution names follow the same spelling and order. If the original document contains an obvious error, ask the translator for a neutral note rather than silently correcting it. When everything aligns, submit originals, translations, and certifications exactly as the Canadian credential assessment authority requests.
