Can anyone fill me in on what CIC actually wants when the say "certified translations" of documents that are not in English or French? What I mean to say, what is acceptable? Pretty much all of my docs are in English but there are a few in Spanish (my partners birth certificate, for example). Since I am fluent in English and Spanish I translated the document, gave it to another bilingual friend and had her sign, in front of a notary, an affidavit of translation stating that she verified the translation and it was accurate. Will this do? I have read several different things and would like to hear about your experiences..thanks.

Get your friend to translate the notes. Both of you go to the public notary who will get your signatures and she will seal the documents... I think you are in good shape.
Good luck!

Do you know if your method of certifying the translation worked?
Most documents just say "certified translation" however on one web page (http://www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/bangkok/citizenship-en.asp) I found through Google it says: "certified translation (ie from a translation bureau - the Embassy can provide a list of bureaux)"
