In French translation within Canada, geographical precision is vital. Quebec French has its own legislative (Bill 96) and terminological requirements that set it apart from European standards.
Asiatis provides certified translations signed by a certified translator who is a member of a provincial association: mainly ATIO (Ontario), STIBC (British Columbia) and OTTIAQ (Quebec). We make sure your documents meet local language laws while keeping their impact.
At the heart of Bill 96 and OQLF requirements, Asiatis is the trusted partner for businesses that must francize their operations in Quebec. Our translators perfectly distinguish Quebec French from international French (France, Belgium, Switzerland), master civil law terminology, and ensure your documents' linguistic compliance with MIFI and IRCC.
