Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Asiatis more expensive?

Because quality costs: certified translators, mandatory review, translations prepared to IRCC's published requirements, free correction if the error is ours.

How is Asiatis different from a generalist agency?

Specialization by sector (medical, legal, tech). Certified translators from provincial orders. IRCC requirements followed. Generalist agency = compromise.

Can Google Translate be enough?

Not for immigration/legal/business. Google Translate is only good for general comprehension, not official documents.

What's the best ROI: freelancer or agency?

An agency, as soon as the document goes to an official body: a non-compliant translation costs a delayed file, far more than the price difference.
