Hi, My mother is coming to visit me from Germany but she doesn’t have the English translation of her vaccination document. She is coming from Germany but can I get the documents translated from Canada? Does that work? If she sends me the original document through WhatsApp and I get the document translated here? Thanks!
My mother’s vaccination document is in German, what can I do?
