Thank you!

I googled certified Chinese translator in Canada and it came out a website which had more than ten translators so I sent the same enquiry to five or six of them then chose the one who replied fast and price was reasonable.

Good luck

It really depends on what language. If you go to a general professional translation company, they may charge you pretty high rates since they can accommodate any language.

What you can try instead, is just looking up the names of local lawyers who deal mainly with the language in question. i.e. if you are looking to translate from Chinese, look for Chinese lawyers that deal mainly with the Chinese community. Often lawyers will be able to do simple translation services for much cheaper for the local community they mainly work with.

For comparison, we had 3 pages of Korean documents translated/notarized for $100 total, by a local Korean lawyer.

Thank you. I requested a quote from these companies that offer every language, and they came back quite high.

I'm confused as to weather it's better to have it done in Canada or in my country (Brazil). Seems like there's an extra step involved if done outside Canada.

Hi as I said earlier that I inquired to five or six certified translators on the same website.The prices vary from 30 dollars to 90 dollars for the same document so I chose the one who replied right away and the price was 45 dollars.

We translated everything in my husband's country, Dominican Republic. It was fast, easy, and significantly cheaper than what people were paying in Canada. There was no extra step involved for us with the translations. We did it through a lawyer in his city, who was also a legal translator for English.
