Canadian Degree translation from Latin to English/French

[jilaniroy]

I have a Canadian diploma (PhD, McGill). The original document is in Latin. I requested them to provide me a translated copy. They sent me an English translation on a plan paper signed and stamped by university Registrar. On CIC website, it says

"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, if required."

Question: Do I have to get the affidavit? I don't think university will provide any such thing. Or I should get it translated from a translator and then ask him/her to provide me an affidavit along with translation?

Any experience will be appreciated.
Thanks

Typically, when you get your PhD diploma (in Latin for some schools in Canada), it usually comes with an English translation that bears the official seal of your University signed by the registrar; this should suffice.

Hi tosinosho1992

Thanks for the reply. That's a relief.

I am in similar situation. Received 2 versions of degree. I had originally uploaded only English Translation (written so on top). Now uploaded version in local language through CSE. Now I'm confused if I should have provided affidavit of translator as well.

jilaniroy - can you please confirm if there was any impact because of these documents?

I uploaded both Latin and English versions that I received from University. For additional surety I got it translated by a certified translation agency along with an affidavit for translation stamped by notary public (in Toronto). Application is still in progress!

Thanks! My medical is expected to be passed around 18th of June. So I don't think my CSE will reach them in time. Let's see.
