Thanks for your concern. But in the guide still it says in Step 1: Gather documents: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG7TOC.asp
Translation of documents

Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:

the English or French translation; and
an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
a certified copy of the original document.
Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the translator is living, that the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document. Translators who are certified members in good standing of one of the provincial or territorial organizations of translators and interpreters of Canada do not need to supply an affidavit.

Important information. Translations by family members are not acceptable.

“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”,
the name of the original document,
the date of the certification,
his or her name,

I heard about it also from some other persons in this forum that no need to notarize. Okay, may be its true but must have a written explanation in the site. The information I shared with you is copied from the cic site, just guideline. However, you notice it is not clearly stated that you must notarize the photocopy of the document. It says what to do in case of notarizing. A bit confusing indeed. Let's see what other says.

i am sorry to say, your Canadian solicitor isn't correct. you should have sent notarized docs. one post june2010 applicant (Ziaul bhai) sent unnotarized docs and he had been selected for Interview by Singapore VO.

whatever ,what i've been advised is in MI3 post june 2011 , no need to notarized except any transalation copy. but i had to do board/university verify of all educatonal docs which was very painful ,notary would have been easier than that. however im not a bit worried.

thanks anyway.

I don't think so. Copies of some docs do not mean to be notarized. I sent my docs un-notarized, both original and updated. I had no translated doc though.
