Official French–English–Spanish Certified Translations for Express Entry, Permanent Residence, Work Permits & Study Permits
1. Overview
Immigrating to Canada requires submitting documents that are accurate, complete, and officially certified. IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) accepts translations only when they meet strict requirements. As a trilingual certified translator (French–Spanish–English) with judicial expertise and extensive experience with European and Latin American documents, I provide IRCC‑ready certified translations that help you avoid delays, refusals, or requests for additional documents.
This page explains IRCC requirements, the types of documents you may need, and how a trilingual expert ensures a smooth immigration process.
