Police Certificate translated by Embassy acceptable?

[neorol]

Hi everyone,

I applied for my Police Certificite at the embassy of my country in Canada. They represent the government of my country and they offer certified English translation along with the original document. Do you think CIC would accept it in my E-Apr?

Another translation question... Our former employers from our officially non English speaking country are willing to issue and sign our reference letters in English. Is there any risk that cic would question the validity of the documents?

Thanks a lot!

If it's certified, it should be fine.

Thanks a lot!

Thank you,

I'm just not sure if an Embassy is considered as certified translator by immigration, in a lot of posts I've seen that they accept only Canadian certified translators. In this case, would they accept the document as original because the translation is issued by the government? Anybody in same situation?

I submitted an English translation of my diploma that was provided by my school directly, so if you say the translation was done by the same government that issued the PCC, it should be OK.

Thank you, your answer is really appreciated. It's seems logical (I think the same), but immigration is many times not. Anyway, I will see how it looks like as I receive it and it will give me a final idea.

Just answering my question after the process. It may help others too...

Along with my PCC and the translation I attached a letter of explanation, that embassy is the representative of the government who issued the PCC and their translation was accepted without any issues.

The reference letters in English were also accepted, even if my country is not an English speaking country. So, if anyone can ask employer to sign reference letter written in English, there is no need for translation.
