Help: Translation Requirements

[omarkhan]

Dear all:

According to the cic website:

"If a supporting document is in a language other than English or French, the applicant must provide IRCC with:

• the English or French translation; and
• an affidavit from the person who completed the translations; and
• a certified photocopy of the original document."

I have a confusion regarding the certified photocopy. Should the photocopy be a black and white or in color? And should the affidavit be missing would that be a problem, as I shall be translating it from the notary public's office itself and he shall be notarising it also. I will ofcourse ask him to give me an affidavit also, but just in case.

Also, one of my documents is in both English and native language, do i still need to translate that.

My last question is, whether the affidavits of the translator be required for each and every document or one affidavit mentioning all the documents be sufficient?

Please advise. Thank you.
