When you need United States document translation in Quebec
Documents issued in United States in a language other than English or French must be translated for IRCC, MIFI, the SAAQ, the Directeur de l’état civil, schools and employers in Quebec. Each institution decides who may translate: IRCC accepts certified translation, while MIFI and professional orders ask for a recognized translator, for example an OTTIAQ member.
The other way round, a Quebec or Canadian document for the United States consulate often has to be translated into the language it requires, and sometimes notarized or apostilled. Since January 11, 2024, Canada has applied the Apostille Convention; in Quebec, the apostille is issued by the Ministère de la Justice for Quebec public documents. Check the consulate’s requirements before you order.
