translation of documents Express Entry

[Karenkl]

Hi everyone!

I'm in the process of gathering all my documents to apply for Express Entry, I know I need translations for almost everything since most of my documents are in Spanish.
My issue is that I'm a professional translator (Spanish - English), however I don't know if I can translate the documents myself, and just notarize them later.
Does anyone knows if that's possible or should I paid another translator?
Another question, do I really need an affidavit in an additional sheet? or can I just put the translator's name, sign, and stamp on the document?
Thanks!!

Self declaration/self translation is not accepted. Get a professional colleague/another translator to do it for you.

Ok thanks! could maybe the consulate of Canada (I'm from Chile, so I mean the consulate here) translate the documents? I know they do that job, however they don't provide an affidavit just a stamp, could that be enough? and do I need an affidavit for each document translated, or just one for all the documents?

Thanks in advance!
