Alert:

The College only accepts documents in English or French.

You must arrange for a translator acceptable to the College to translate any document that is not in English or French.

For documents you submit yourself, such as a teaching certificate or birth certificate, you must include the original translation with a copy of the document.

For documents that are sent directly to the College from an institution, the College will send you a copy of the official document in its original language to translate. Do not make any arrangements for translation until you receive the official document from the College.

Submitting your translations

When submitting translations, the following must be sent together:

  • a copy of the document in its original language. For documents sent directly to us from an institution, it must be the copy we sent to you.
  • the translation.
  • an original, signed letter from the translator.

The letter from the translator must include:

  • a statement indicating the translation is accurate and authentic.
  • the translator’s ID number, seal or both.
  • the translator’s name, address and telephone number.
  • the translator’s original signature.
