According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website, applications for permanent residence programs are subject to the Express Entry completeness check.
“If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide IRCC with an English or French translation stamped by a certified translator or accompanied by an affidavit from the person who completed the translation, if it is not possible to have the translation done by a certified translator.
The translation package should include: 1) a copy of the source document used by the translator, 2) the translation of all contents of the original document in either English or French.
Note:
- The source document and the translation must either be stamped by the translator or referred to in the affidavit.
- A scan of the original document or a scan of a certified photocopy of the original document”.
In sum, the translation package must include the following:
- A copy of the original document used by the translator and a translation of the entire content of the original document in English or French.
