Are you searching for a certified Korean to English translator in Canada to help with your supporting documents for permanent residency (PR) or immigration application?

Did you know that as of 2021, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada only accepts translations performed by certified translators?

Here are the two specific requirements:

“The translation must be done by a Certified Translator, or it will not be accepted.”

“A Certified Translator is a translator who is a full member in good standing of one of the provincial professional translation associations in Canada…”

This is a significant policy change from previous years when nearly anyone could perform translations, as long as an affidavit was attached. Now, only translations performed by certified translators will be accepted. It can be a challenge to find certified Korean-English translators in many provinces and states. It is best to plan ahead and make sure you have qualified Korean-English translator set up to handle all your documentation on time. Don’t be afraid to ask for evidence of the translator’s credentials, so you know for sure your supporting documents will satisfy the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada requirements.

Corey Colling, our in-house Certified Korean-English translator personally translates and certifies all documents being submitted to IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada).
