Why do you need a certified translation of your police clearance?
Permanent Residency (PR)
IRCC requires a police certificate from every country you've lived in for 6 or more months. If it's not in English or French, it must be officially translated.
Spousal Sponsorship
The sponsored spouse must provide a translated police clearance certificate to prove they are criminally admissible to Canada.
Work Permits & Express Entry
Many temporary and permanent economic pathways require translated criminal record checks to ensure applicants meet security requirements.
If needed, the translated documents can be notarized by a public notary to meet official submission requirements, apostilled or legalized.
