Canada's certified translation specialists
Certilingua has spent more than 20 years turning foreign-language documents into certified translations that Canadian authorities accept. We pair an accredited translator network with a clear, accountable process, so individuals, businesses, and institutions can submit with confidence.
Who we are
Certilingua is a Canadian certified translation service operated by ELLIPSE MONDE INC., based in Quebec and serving clients across the country. We focus on one thing and do it well: official translations of civil status, academic, legal, and corporate documents that institutions accept the first time they are submitted.
That focus is what sets us apart from a general translation shop. We understand how Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), courts, universities, professional regulators, and authorities abroad read a document, what they require, and how a translation has to be prepared to meet that bar. Over more than 20 years, that knowledge has been built into every step of how we work.
What sets us apart
An accredited translator network
Our certified translations are produced by accredited translators who are members of a CTTIC-recognized provincial association. We match each file to the right professional in the right language and field.
A real quality process
Every translation is prepared, reviewed against the original, and certified before it reaches you. That review step is how we keep quality consistent across thousands of documents.
60+ languages, one standard
From French and English to more than 60 languages, the same accredited standard applies, whether it is a single certificate or a high-volume corporate file.
Built for acceptance
We prepare each translation to the requirements of the body receiving it, including notarization or apostille when needed, so it is accepted without back-and-forth.
Confidential and Canadian
Documents are transferred over encrypted connections and stored on Canadian servers. For businesses and law firms, we also work under non-disclosure agreements.
Fast when it counts
Standard turnaround is a few business days, with express 24-hour delivery when a deadline will not move. We confirm timing before you pay.
Recognized credentials, not just claims
Authority in this field comes from credentials you can verify. As an organization, Certilingua is a member of the Canadian Language Industry Association (CLIA) and the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA). Our translators hold accreditation from Canada's provincial associations, including OTTIAQ, ATIO, ATIA, STIBC, and others, under the framework of the Canadian Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters Council (CTTIC).
You can read more about each one on our accreditation and memberships page.
