Which format should I choose for my translated birth certificate?
The format of a translated birth certificate depends on the receiving body. IRCC accepts a certified PDF uploaded to the portal, the SAAQ requires original paper bearing the certified translator's seal, and WES admits both. The choice is therefore made before ordering, according to the procedure involved.
- ✓IRCC/Immigration: Digital PDF accepted
- ✓SAAQ/Quebec: Sealed paper mandatory
- ✓WES/ICAS: PDF or paper accepted
- ✓Universities: PDF generally sufficient
