In Canada, organizations like World Education Services (WES) or the International Qualifications Assessment Service (IQAS) require official translations of all foreign-language education documents. For applicants in Alberta, these translations must be complete, accurate, and performed by a certified translator to be accepted for evaluation of your academic credentials.
You must translate every page of your key education documents. This typically includes your final diploma or degree certificate, official transcripts listing all courses and grades, and any professional licenses or special awards. Do not omit any seals, stamps, signatures, or notations on the original, as these are critical for assessment.
Canadian authorities mandate that translations be completed by a certified member of a provincial translation association, such as the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Alberta (ATIA). A certified translator will provide a signed statement of accuracy, their seal, and contact information, which gives the translation its legal validity for submission to assessment bodies and immigration programs.
Always submit the translated documents alongside clear, legible copies of the original-language documents. The assessment agency will compare the two. Ensure names, dates, and institutional details are perfectly consistent across all your application materials. Keep a complete set for your records, as you may need to submit them to multiple provincial or national authorities.
