You will, in my opinion, need to have your Diploma translated and the translator will certify it. Also, note that you will still need to send in a copy of the original Diploma too (better Notarized). The translator will and should translate the stamp, by saying, e.g stamp of Notary , date and so on. A certified and qualified translator will definitely know what to do.

Translation Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:
of
documents • the English or French translation; and
• an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
• a certified copy of the 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.

Translations by family members are not acceptable.

Certified To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must
copies or compare the original document to the photocopy and must print the
notarized following on the photocopy:
documents
• ‘‘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
• his or her official position or title
• his or her signature
Who can
certify People authorized to certify copies include the following:
copies? In Canada: Outside Canada:

• a commissioner of oaths • a judge
• a notary public • a magistrate
• a justice of the peace • a notary public
• an officer of a court of justice
• a commissioner authorized to
administer oaths in the country
in which the person is living


Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answer, but let me ask you another question: I have my diploma evaluated in the United States by Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc (USA) - it's all in English and being selaed in envelope, do you think this evaluation can serve as a translation?

I have no experience with this scenario, but I can only tell you what I would have done if I were in your shoes.

I would get it professionally done and certified from a qualified and certified translator, as stated in the EG7, an extract of which I have pasted earlier on.

Let's s wait and see what others have to say. I am sure there are tons of people who have had their degrees and diplomas evaluated and certified by different bodies. Maybe they can share their experiences and guide you further.
