Credential assessment bodies in Canada evaluate education completed outside the country. In Alberta, services like the International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) accept applications for immigration, professional registration, and other purposes. When your documents are in another language, you must provide a complete translation that matches the original documents and follows the assessment body's rules.
A certified translation for credential assessment includes the translator's signed declaration, the date, and the details of the translator or agency. This declaration confirms the translation is accurate and complete. In Alberta, ensure your translator is familiar with Canadian assessment procedures and can deliver a document that authorities will accept without extra verification.
Your submission should include translated copies of every relevant education document, such as diplomas, degree certificates, transcripts, and any attachments or appendices. Translate all text that appears on each page, including stamps, seals, and handwritten notes. Missing a single line may cause the assessment office to return your package or ask for more information.
Each credential assessment service has its own submission guidelines. Some ask for scanned copies, while others require paper documents. Follow the instructions from the Canadian authority or Alberta body you are applying to. Keeping your original documents and their certified translations together will make the process smoother.
