Certified translation in Alberta
As a certified translation company in Canada, Certilingua serves all of Alberta online, from Calgary and Edmonton to the smaller centres in between. Albertans need official translation for many reasons: skilled-worker and provincial-nominee immigration, university admissions, and the recognition of foreign credentials by Alberta's professional regulators, which is constant given the province's draw for workers from around the world.
In Alberta, certified translators are accredited by the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Alberta (ATIA), a member of the Canadian Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters Council (CTTIC). ATIA grants the Certified Translator (C. Tr.) title, and a translation bearing that seal is accepted by IRCC, Alberta courts, post-secondary institutions, regulators, and employers across the province.
The level you need depends on the destination. A certified translation arrives with a certificate of accuracy, a translation by an accredited translator is the standard for official files, and a notarized translation adds a sworn affidavit before a notary when an authority or a foreign country asks for it. We confirm the right option before you order.

Who relies on certified translation in Alberta
Demand in Alberta is shaped by the province's economy and its newcomers. Skilled workers and families arriving through federal programs and the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program need certified translations of their supporting documents. The energy, construction, and health sectors draw internationally trained professionals whose diplomas and licences must be translated for credential recognition. Students enrolling at Alberta universities and polytechnics translate academic records, and families translate civil status documents for schools and provincial services.
Alberta's regulators are exacting about credential documents, where a mistranslated course title or professional designation can stall an application for months. We translate these records with the precise terminology each body expects, and we keep the layout faithful so an assessor can line the translation up against the original. For documents used outside Canada, we add notarization and arrange an apostille when the destination requires it.
