Vaccine passport

[Canelita647]

My husband got his pr so excited. I have a question about the vaccine passport. If it is not in English it needs to be certified translated correct? Does anybody know or have experience if your vaccine passport can be translated automatically if you do it online through digital QR CODE? Or does it actually need to be certified translated to English. Also, does the PCR test need to be certified translated? I'm sure it does but anybody have experience with this? Because the pcr test has to be done 72hours ahead of time of flight and it's cutting it close if the pcr test results have to get translated. Any input would be appreciated.

According to the website below, you need to have vaccine passport certified translation in either English or French.
Your certified translation must include the stamp or membership number of a professional translation association.

Translation of documents

Keep both the original proof of vaccination and the certified translation with you while you travel.

If your proof of vaccination doesn't meet all of the requirements, it will be considered invalid. You will not qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller.

Did anybody arrive in Canada with a pcr test that was not translated to English? What happened?

Is it possible for you to find a PCR testing facility that will provide in English?
You may have to pay more and possibly travel to a place that will provide this service within 72hours.

If you arrive without translated test result then the border services agent can send you to hotel quarantine at your expense.

When we arrived in Canada couple weeks ago as landed PR, we had COPR and we used ArriveCan and upload photos of the translated Vaccine Receipt and PCR test to ArriveCan, Canada border agent just asked "are you vaccinated", we said yes. They put a blue sticker and we were on our way out to get our bags
