Regina Certified Translation Services

Certified translation in Saskatchewan's capital

Regina is the capital of Saskatchewan and a fast-growing destination for newcomers, many arriving through one of the country's busiest provincial nominee programs. As the city grows, so does the need for official document translation: a record in another language has to be translated and certified before the provincial program, the university, an employer, or an immigration officer will accept it. Certilingua is an accredited translation service working with Regina clients online, from downtown and the Warehouse District to the suburbs.

An official translation is more than an accurate one. It is prepared by an accredited translator, signed with a certificate of accuracy, and set out so the office receiving it can rely on it at a glance. We hold to that standard on every file, from a single diploma to a full immigration package.

What makes a translation official in Saskatchewan

In Saskatchewan, certification is carried out by translators accredited through the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Saskatchewan (ATIS), a member of the Canadian Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters Council (CTTIC). An accredited translator holds the Certified Translator (C. Tr.) title, and a translation under that seal, with a certificate of accuracy, is treated as official by IRCC, the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program, provincial courts, the University of Regina, and employers.

Which level you need depends on the destination. A certified translation covers most uses, certification by an accredited translator is the standard for official files, and a notarized translation adds a sworn affidavit when required. We confirm the right option before any work begins, so you never pay for more than the situation calls for.

Who we help in Regina

Immigration is the largest source of work. Applicants to the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program translate civil status records, police clearances, and diplomas for their files, and the same documents are often needed again for federal processing through IRCC. Internationally trained professionals translate degrees and licences for assessment by Saskatchewan regulators.

Students at the University of Regina and Saskatchewan Polytechnic translate transcripts for admission and study permits, businesses translate contracts and corporate records, and families translate everyday documents, from a foreign driver's licence to school and medical records. Each receives the same accredited, official treatment.

Regina's growth has been driven heavily by newcomers, and many arrive without prior Canadian paperwork. We help them build a complete, certified record from the documents they bring, in the language the receiving office needs, so their first months here are spent settling rather than chasing translations.

Common situations that need an official translation in Regina

The requests we see in Regina follow the city's growth. SINP applicants translate identity and education documents for nomination and for IRCC. New residents translate a foreign driver's licence for Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI), and parents translate birth and immunization records to enrol children in school. Tradespeople and professionals translate credentials for recognition, and couples completing a sponsorship translate their marriage and civil status records.

Most of these are tied to a deadline, which is why we confirm turnaround at the outset and offer express delivery, so an official translation is never the reason a Regina deadline slips.

Translating professional and academic credentials in Regina

A large share of Regina's translation work involves credentials. Internationally educated nurses, engineers, accountants, and tradespeople translate their degrees, transcripts, and licences so a Saskatchewan regulator or assessment body can evaluate them. These documents carry technical terms and institution names that must be rendered precisely, because a single unclear line can delay an assessment for weeks. We assign each one to a translator who knows the field and certify it to the standard the assessing body expects.

Timing matters as much as accuracy. Assessment bodies and the SINP often work to fixed intakes, so we return credential translations promptly and flag anything in the source an assessor may question, helping you submit a clean file the first time.
