Where exactly the above paragraph quoted from Guide 7000 state that ALL photocopies needs to be notarised????
The above text is the continuation of paragraph Translation of documents as below and it clearly state that any document which is not in English and French requires a certified copy of original document (in bullet 3) :
Translation of documents
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; and
- a certified copy of the original 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. Translators who
are certified members in good standing of one of the provincial or territorial organizations of translators and
interpreters of Canada do not need to supply an affidavit.
Important information. Translations by family members are not acceptable.
