| Patronymics | Middle names based on the father's name must be handled correctly in legal forms. | Expertise in managing Russian naming conventions for administrative accuracy. |
| Case System | Names change endings (declension). We revert them to Nominative for Canadian forms. | Names rendered as Canadian forms expect them. |

Translating Russian to English or French presents unique challenges, particularly transliteration and complex declensions. Misinterpretation or a spelling error in a name can delay your immigration file by months.
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). Our certified translations are prepared in line with the published requirements of IRCC, consulates and academic institutions; the decision on each file remains theirs.
For over 25 years, Asiatis has served Russian-speaking communities in Canada and businesses operating in the CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States). Our translators master GOST standards, Cyrillic typography requirements, and apostille and consular legalization processes — rare and essential expertise for the mining, aerospace, and legal sectors.

Notarized translation: where to find a notary
Asiatis does not handle notarization. We confirm with you whether the recipient requires a notarized translation; the notarization is then done by a notary.
The role and status of a notary vary by province: in Quebec, the notary is a legal professional; elsewhere, a notary public is often a lawyer or a person appointed by the province.
Official notary directories:
- Quebec — Chambre des notaires du Québec: Find a notary. The notary is a legal professional and a member of the Chambre des notaires. The directory lists notaries who agree to be referred to the public.
- British Columbia — Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia: Find a Notary (from the home page). Notaries public are regulated by the Society of Notaries Public; its tool lets you search for a notary by name or city and check their status.
