## About this service

## Certified Translation Requirements in Ontario

In Ontario, Canada, you need a certified translation when submitting non-English or French documents for official purposes. The certified translation must be done by a qualified professional translator in Ontario who confirms that the translation is accurate and complete. They must also include a certification, which contains a signed statement, the translator’s details, and an official stamp or seal.​

For most official purposes, Ontario authorities require translations completed by members of the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO). The ATIO is the official body that grants the “Certified Translator” designation in Ontario under provincial legislation. They are also members of the Canadian Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters Council (CTTIC), which sets national standards for the profession.

Unlike regular translations, which require a notarised affidavit, an ATIO-certified translation in Ontario includes a certification statement and the translator's seal. If any of these elements are missing, especially when authorities require an ATIO-certified translation, your submission will be rejected.

At Translayte, we work with carefully vetted Ontario-certified translators in Canada, authorised to translate documents for official purposes. Our Ontario-certified translators are members of ATIO, OTTAIQ, and other associations under CTTIC, ensuring your translation is accepted by authorities.​

Whether you are submitting documents for name change, professional licensing, or court proceedings, our certified translation services in Ontario ensure they are accepted the first time. Each translation arrives on time, accompanied by a certification statement, translator details, and a seal for acceptance by Ontario or Canadian authorities.​

### When Do You Need Certified Translation in Ontario

You need a certified translation in Ontario, Canada, for official purposes, including visa applications, court proceedings, and professional licensing. Here's a breakdown of each:

- **​Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)**: If you're applying through the OINP and using an Ontario-based translation service, your translator must be ATIO certified. However, if a non-ATIO provider outside Ontario translated your documents, additional requirements may apply.​
- **Professional licensing bodies**: Licensing authorities in regulated fields require certified translations of your academic credentials, transcripts, and professional documents as part of the assessment process. Some professional licensing bodies that need certified translation are

  - Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO)
  - CPA Ontario (Chartered Professional Accountants)
  - National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB)
  - College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO)
  - Ontario College of Teachers (OCT)
- **Ontario courts and legal proceedings:**You need a certified translation for court filings and legal submissions. This is often a requirement when submitting affidavits, contracts, evidence, or personal records for your legal proceeding.
- **​Driver's licence exchange (DriveTest/MTO):** If your [foreign driver's licence](https://translayte.com/blog/converting-a-foreign-drivers-licence-in-canada) is not in English or French, you'll need a certified translation to exchange it for an Ontario licence through DriveTest or the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO).
- **​Academic credential evaluations**: If you are applying to study in Ontario, Canada, you need a certified translation for credential evaluation. [WES](https://translayte.com/blog/apply-for-wes-evaluation-in-canada), [ICAS](https://translayte.com/blog/apply-for-ices-credential-evaluation-in-canada), and the University of Toronto CES require all non-English and French documents to be translated by an approved translator in Ontario.
- **​IRCC applications:** If you are applying for a visa or another immigration process [through IRCC](https://translayte.com/blog/where-can-you-find-a-canadian-certified-translator), you must provide a certified translation for any supporting document that is not in English or French.

**​Note**: In Ontario, the ATIO-certified translation is often compulsory for official purposes. However, requirements vary by authority, and you can use translation by members of any CTTIC-approved association. Always confirm the certification requirements from the receiving authority before placing an order.

## Certified Translation in Ontario vs Affidavit-Based Translation

In Ontario, there are two common types of certified translations, and the right option depends on the receiving authority's requirements.

​A translation completed by an ATIO-certified translator includes the translator’s personal seal and signature and is accepted as-is without additional documentation. This is often required for provincial programs such as OINP, licensing bodies, and certain legal processes.

​A certified translation with an affidavit, on the other hand, is completed by a professional translator and accompanied by a sworn statement signed before a notary public. This format is accepted by federal bodies such as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

​Both ATIO and affidavit-certified translation are valid in Ontario, but for regional applications, authorities request ATIO certification. Additionally, for an affidavit-based translation, you can use any professional translator in Canada who is proficient in the language pair. In both cases, the translator cannot be you, a family member, or a friend. At Translayte, we provide both ATIO- and affidavit-certified translations, as requested, and ensure they meet the exact requirements of your application.​

## How It Works

Translating documents for Ontario authorities is straightforward with Translayte. Follow these steps:

- **​Upload your document**: Upload a clear scan or photo in PDF, JPG, PNG, or Word format. Ensure all text, stamps, and seals are fully visible to avoid incomplete translation.

- **​Translation assigned:** Your translation has been assigned to an Ontario-certified translator with experience in accurately translating documents for the authority that needs them.
- **Receive translation**: The completed translation will be delivered via email as a digital PDF, featuring the certified translator’s seal, signature, and membership details. Paper copies are available upon request through courier services.​​
