In order to become a certified translator in Canada, there are a few things you might need to know. First of all, a certified translator needs to be certified by specific bodies, which belong to the Canadian Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters Council – CTTIC. These bodies are represented in the Board of Certification, which is responsible with setting the standards required for certification procedures, as well as exercising overall control and reporting to the council. If you successfully complete an examination or any certification procedure, you are granted the status of certified member. When you apply for certification, this application needs to be directed to the CTTIC member body that exists in the province or territory where you wish to settle and work.

Requirements to apply for a certified translator

In order to become a Certified Member, you need to pass several examinations, which differ in number, modality and complexity, depending on the category for which you wish to become a certified translator. Prior to trying to become a certified professional translator, you need to become an Associate Member, which you can do by passing the Associate-level examination. After you achieve this title, you have six years in which you can pass your certification process. If you fail to pass the certification process, you lose your Associate status. However, in case you pass the certification, you are eligible to become a Certified Member. More.
