IRCC work permit document translation requirements
Canadian work files may connect an offer or employment route with education, experience, identity and family evidence. Occupational terminology and employment dates should remain consistent across translated records.
The work-permit category, employer process and applicant checklist determine the evidence required. Foreign-language supporting records should follow current IRCC translation instructions and any route-specific requirements.
Translation certification, translator affidavit, certified copies and credential assessment are different matters. The quotation should identify which items are translation deliverables and which must be obtained elsewhere.
