How do I get a Somali document translated for IRCC?
Through a translation accompanied by an affidavit. IRCC allows this route only if the document cannot be translated by a certified translator. In October 2026, no certified Somali translator appears in the directories of the provincial associations we checked, so Asiatis delivers the translation into English with the translator's affidavit.
