Turkish document translation for Canadian applications
Uğur Arı — sworn translator, Kartal 12th and Gebze 19th Notary Offices · Updated October 27, 2026
Turkish–English document translations for Canadian immigration and official applications, starting from 850 ₺ (≈ 24.99 CAD). I translate Turkish documents into English for IRCC applications — permanent residence, study and work permits, sponsorship and citizenship. Each translation is prepared in Türkiye by me, Uğur Arı, a sworn translator whose oath is recorded at the Kartal 12th and Gebze 19th Notary Offices, and carries my statement, name, status, date, signature, stamp and contact details. Where your application route needs the translator’s affidavit, it is sworn before a notary in Türkiye and quoted as part of your document order.

How much does Turkish to English translation cost for Canada?
Per single-page document, e.g. passport, ID card, birth record, driving licence, criminal record, marriage certificate.
Per document, e.g. diploma, one-page transcript, student certificate, certificate, equivalence certificate. Long transcripts are quoted in writing.
Up to 5 standard documents (e.g. passport, ID, income document, bank statement, invitation). Four standard documents: 3.400 ₺ — you pay the lower amount. For additional documents, multi-page documents or special requirements, I review the documents and quote a personalised package price.
Up to 10 documents for a study-abroad application (e.g. diploma, one-page transcript, equivalence certificate, certificates, language certificate). For additional documents, multi-page documents (including multi-page transcripts) or special requirements, I review the documents and quote a personalised package price. If the per-document total is lower, you pay that.
Currency amounts are rounded estimates based on the TRY tariff. Your final quote is confirmed after document review. Foreign-currency figures are calculated from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye buying rate of 9 October 2026 (NZD: ECB cross rate) and rounded up to .99.
- Long or dense documents, multi-page transcripts, court decisions (including divorce decrees): written quote after review.
- Notarisation or apostille, only if your authority asks for it: notary, apostille, courier and organisation costs depend on the document and official fees and are listed separately in your written quote.
- Paper documents by courier: actual courier cost, paid by the recipient.
One Turkish lira price basis, wherever you order from. The same sworn translation has the same price whether you order from Canada or from Türkiye; I do not set a separate base price by country. Prices are based on my Turkish lira tariff. Foreign-currency figures are approximate, rounded indications. The final payable amount and any transfer charges are confirmed in your quote.
Packages: For eligible documents, the sum of the per-document prices is compared with the applicable package price; you pay the lower amount. For example, four standard documents are 3.400 ₺ (≈ 98.99 CAD). The visa package starts from 3.499 ₺ (from ≈ 101.99 CAD) and covers up to five standard documents; for additional documents, multi-page documents or special requirements, I review the documents and quote a personalised package price.
- Can I order at the Turkish lira price from Canada? Yes. Your quote uses the same Turkish lira tariff as for clients in Türkiye; the CAD figures are only a guide.
- Is the CAD amount a separate international price? No. It is the Turkish lira price converted at a recent official exchange rate and rounded up to .99.
- Which currency do I pay in? Your written quote states the exact amount, the currency to send and the payment details; bank and Western Union charges are not included.
- Are notarisation, apostille and delivery included? No. They are added only when your procedure needs them, and listed separately in your quote.
Foreign-currency figures are calculated from the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye buying rate of 9 October 2026 (NZD: ECB cross rate) and rounded up to .99.
Prices are per document or package, by document class; you are not charged per word or character. The packages cover documents of the two classes above. Court decisions such as a divorce decree, and long, densely written, handwritten or multi-page documents, are not part of a package and are quoted after I see them. Send several documents together and you get one written quote before you pay.
Each price includes the English translation, my statement that it is complete and accurate, my full name and sworn status, the date, my signature, stamp and contact details, and PDF delivery. Where a document-specific affidavit or additional notarisation is required, it is quoted as part of your document order; it is not included in the prices above.
Each price covers the translation and the documentation I prepare for the application you tell me about. Notarisation, affidavits, apostilles or delivery are quoted separately when you need them.
Translated inside or outside Canada
- Certified PDF. I sign and stamp it as a sworn translator and send it by email or WhatsApp; short standard documents within 24 hours.
- Signed paper copy. Sent by courier on request; the courier cost is paid by the recipient.
- Notarisation or apostille. Only if your receiving authority asks for it; notary, apostille, courier and organisation costs depend on the document and official fees and are listed separately in your written quote.
IRCC’s rules depend on where the translation is done:
- Inside Canada — a certified translator who is a member in good standing of a provincial or territorial translators’ association; otherwise the translator swears an affidavit before a notary public or a commissioner of oaths.
- Outside Canada — IRCC’s general translation instructions refer to a translator accredited (officially recognized or authorized) in the country where the translation is done; otherwise the translation must be accompanied by the translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary public or equivalent.
The applicant, family members, representatives and consultants may not translate the documents. IRCC can ask for a new translation if it doubts the accuracy.
Send Your Document First. Pay After Reviewing Your Quote.
Certified translation requirements can vary by document and receiving authority. Send your document via WhatsApp, talk to me directly, and get a written quote covering the translation, any required certification and delivery options before making payment.
- Send your document. A photo or PDF by WhatsApp, and tell me where it will be used.
- I review it. The document, its language pair, the purpose and the service you need — including whether notarisation, an apostille, a signed paper copy or international delivery is needed.
- You receive a written quote. Translation, any required certification, delivery and turnaround, before you pay.
- I prepare your translation. No upfront payment is required for the translation.
- You see it first. Once your translation is completed, I share a watermarked preview showing a suitable part of the document. The preview does not expose unnecessary personal data and does not replace the signed and stamped official document.
- Then you pay. After your payment is confirmed, I deliver the final, watermark-free translation with the translator’s statement, signature and stamp in the agreed format.
See that your translation is ready before you pay. No upfront payment is required, either to request a quote or for the translation. I cannot guarantee that a foreign authority will accept a document; where its requirements are unclear, I tell you to confirm them with the receiving authority before you pay.
I accept credit and debit cards. After you accept the written quote, you can pay by card, by bank transfer to my IBAN, or by Western Union where delivery to a bank account is available from your location; cash is possible in person in Türkiye. Card payments are made through a secure payment link in US dollars (USD); card charges, if any, are stated in your quote.

Each application type uses its own wording
Each IRCC guide words the rule a little differently:
| Application | What the IRCC page says |
|---|---|
| Express Entry (permanent residence) | Certified translator (member of a professional translation association in Canada or abroad), or an affidavit from the person who did the translation; the affidavit must refer to both the translation and the original document the translator worked from. Outside Canada it can be taken by a notary public or equivalent. |
| Study permit / work permit | A Canadian certified translator, or a person fluent in both languages plus an affidavit on their language proficiency and the accuracy of the translation; outside Canada the affidavit is sworn before a notary public. |
| Spouse or partner sponsorship | Same pattern as study and work permits. Police certificates not in English or French need an “accredited translator”. Up to 10 pages of proof of communication may be submitted and must be translated. |
| Citizenship (adults) | Certified translator (member of a Canadian provincial or territorial body), or an uncertified translator plus an affidavit; outside Canada a notary public “may be able to” authorize the affidavit, depending on the country. |
| Provincial nominee (Ontario OINP) | Applicants outside Ontario may use any translator, and the translation must be notarized. Other provinces set their own rules. |
I checked these pages on 10 October 2026. They change, so check the current version before ordering.
What I provide
- A complete English translation of all text, including stamps, seals and notes on the original.
- My translator’s statement that the translation is complete and accurate, identifying the original document and the translation, with my full name, status (sworn translator, Kartal 12th and Gebze 19th Notary Offices), the date, my signature, stamp, address, phone and email.
- Affidavit, when your application route needs it — my sworn statement on my language proficiency and the accuracy of the translation, referring to the original document and the translation, sworn and certified before a notary in Türkiye. The notary fee is shown separately in your written quote.
- A certified PDF for online upload, and a signed paper copy if you ask for one.
IRCC’s general translation instructions and the Express Entry page add that the commissioner or notary public who takes the oath “must be proficient in English or French”. Tell me which application you are making when you send your documents; I confirm in writing, before you pay, how the affidavit will be sworn and the notary fee.

Send your documents for a quote ↗Notarisation is not an apostille
Here, notarisation means the translator’s oath and its certification by a Turkish notary. An apostille is a separate certificate issued under the Hague Apostille Convention.
The IRCC translation instructions linked on this page do not mention an apostille. Add one only if a specific instruction for your application asks for it.

Cash is possible in person in Türkiye.

Get a quote for your IRCC documents ↗How much does Turkish to English translation cost for Canada?
A standard single-page document such as a birth record, criminal record or marriage certificate is 850 ₺ (≈ 24.99 CAD); an academic document such as a diploma or single-page transcript is from 1.150 ₺ (≈ 33.99 CAD). The visa package starts from 3.499 ₺ (from ≈ 101.99 CAD) for up to 5 standard documents (additional or multi-page documents: personalised package quote after review), and the student application package starts from 5.999 ₺ (from ≈ 173.99 CAD) for up to 10 study-abroad documents (additional or multi-page documents: personalised package quote after review). Court decisions and long or multi-page documents are quoted after review. An affidavit, when your route needs one, is quoted separately.
Is an affidavit included in the listed price?
No. The listed prices cover the translation with my statement, name, status, date, signature, stamp and contact details. Where your IRCC route needs the translator’s affidavit, I swear it before a notary in Türkiye; IRCC asks for a notary proficient in English or French, and I confirm the arrangement and the notary fee in your written quote.
Can I order certified Turkish document translations online?
Yes. Send scans by WhatsApp or email, receive a written quote, pay, and get the signed PDF by email. For IRCC, a translation by a translator who is not a Canadian certified translator goes with the translator’s affidavit, which I quote with your order when your route needs it.
Does IRCC accept a translation from a sworn translator in Turkey?
IRCC’s pages describe two routes: a certified translator, or a translation with the translator’s affidavit. For translations made outside Canada the affidavit is sworn before a notary public (Express Entry: “a notary public or equivalent”; citizenship: a notary public “may be able to” authorize it, depending on the country). My IRCC translations follow the affidavit route where the application needs it. IRCC decides acceptance.
Do different IRCC applications have different translation requirements?
Yes. Express Entry, study and work permits, spouse or partner sponsorship and citizenship each word the rule differently; police certificates for sponsorship need an “accredited translator”. Read the guide for your own application; the table on this page links each one.
Can you provide the affidavit IRCC asks for?
Yes. When your application route needs it, I, Uğur Arı, swear the affidavit before a notary in Türkiye and the notary certifies it. The affidavit refers to the original document and the translation. The notary fee is shown separately in your written quote.
Is a Turkish sworn translator a “certified translator” for IRCC?
IRCC’s pages do not mention Turkish sworn translators by name, and some guides define a certified translator as a member of a Canadian association. Where your guide asks for it, I, Uğur Arı, provide the translation with a translator’s affidavit sworn before a notary in Türkiye.
Do I need a translation affidavit for Express Entry?
Yes, for my translations. The Express Entry page asks for an affidavit when the translator is not a certified translator, and says it must refer to both the translated document and the original document.
How do you translate a Turkish police certificate for Canadian immigration?
I translate the Turkish criminal record (adli sicil) into English with the translator’s statement, and the affidavit when your route needs it. For spouse or partner sponsorship, Guide 5289 asks for an “accredited translator” for police certificates and does not define the term; mention it when you order if your file is a sponsorship application.
Can I order several documents together?
Yes. Send them together for one written quote. The visa or immigration package starts from 3.499 ₺ (from ≈ 101.99 CAD) for up to 5 standard documents (additional or multi-page documents: personalised package quote after review), and the student or academic package starts from 5.999 ₺ (from ≈ 173.99 CAD) for up to 10 documents (additional or multi-page documents: personalised package quote after review); court decisions and long documents are quoted separately, and so is any affidavit.
How can I pay from Canada?
By credit/debit card, by international bank transfer to my IBAN, or by Western Union where delivery to a bank account is available from your location; cash is possible in person in Türkiye. Prices are based on my Turkish lira tariff and CAD figures are approximate; your written quote states the exact amount, the currency to send and the payment details. Bank and Western Union fees are not included. Credit/debit cards, bank transfers and Western Union are accepted. PayPal and Wise are not currently supported.
Do I need an apostille on the translation?
The IRCC translation instructions linked on this page do not mention an apostille. Follow any specific instruction you receive for your application.
Do you give immigration advice?
I translate documents and do not give immigration advice. Which documents you submit and which route you use are decisions for you, your representative and IRCC.
- IRCC — Translation of supporting documents (general instructions) →
- IRCC — Express Entry: apply for permanent residence (translations) →
- IRCC — Guide 5269: study permit outside Canada →
- IRCC — Guide 5289: sponsor your spouse or partner →
- IRCC — Citizenship for adults: forms and documents (certified translation) →
I checked these sources on 10 October 2026. IRCC and provincial rules change, so check the current version before you apply.
Requirements and acceptance are set by IRCC and the receiving authority; practices change and acceptance cannot be guaranteed. This page is general information, not legal or immigration advice.
