All translations are NOT created equal
All rates listed apply to the majority of English<->French, English<->Spanish and French<->Spanish assignments. The same rates may or
may not apply to other language pairs. Language resources for some languages may be difficult to source and, in such circumstances, premium rates may apply. Please call Toll Free 1-888-722-3515 (or e-mail) to discuss your specific requirements.
A Note on Translation Rates:
The translation sector is not immune to the supply and demand dynamics of the marketplace. In that context, our standard or posted rates should be viewed as a guide.
Also, not all translators are created equal. As a translation agency we do our best to place translation assignments with the best available resource(s).
Competent resources for some languages or technical topics are more difficult to source than others. (Tight deadline requirements may also be a significant cost element under such circumstances.)
As an example, there are only two resources listed in our database that qualify to certify Japanese to English document translations. Moreover, these resources may not necessarily be available on short notice. When they are available, the costs quoted to us may be high – in fact, way higher than our posted rates.
It's important to keep in mind that premium rates may also apply based on technical difficulty, urgency, and file type (since file formatting may be required).
Finally, we do want your business and we will quote you a competitive price to get it. But, we will not compromise our quality standards to get business (see below: Where to Find Cheap Translation).
To secure a CERTIFIED TRANSLATION follow these steps:
Step 1: Send your documents and information
Go to our Request a Quote page and attach the document(s) in pdf format, OR e-mail us a pdf file of the document(s), OR fax us the document(s) to be translated (E-mail coordinator@cilfotranslations.com or Fax: 613-221-9511). Be sure to include your full contact information (name, phone number, mailing address with zip code or postal code, e-mail address). We will respond by e-mail or phone within
a few hours to confirm that we have accepted the assignment.
Step 2: Payment
We will send you a firm quote along with a payment request via e-mail before we begin
the translation. You can pay with VISA or MasterCard. If you do not have a credit card, you can send us a check or money order. All orders must be pre-paid in full before we begin the translation.
Step 3: Translation and Delivery
We will send you the notarized certified translation by regular mail within two business days after receiving your payment. Priority and Express Mail service is available for an additional charge of $10.00 for
Priority (delivery in 2-3 days) and $24.00 for Express Mail Delivery (next day delivery).
Types of documents requiring translation certification:
The types of documents can vary widely and may include: Birth Certificates; Marriage Certificates; Divorce Decree Papers; Death Certificates; Diplomas; Academic Transcripts and Certificates; Official Identity Documents (Birth Certificate, Driver's License, Passport Pages, Baptismal Certificates, etc.); Work Records; Pension Papers; Proof of Income Documentation and/or Tax Returns; Private Correspondence and References; Special Authorizations (Child Adoption Paperwork, Parental Consent to Travel for a Child who is a Minor); Legal Documents (Power of Attorney, Contracts, Agreements, etc.)
Whatever the nature of the documents, they will be safe in our care. Full privacy and absolute confidentiality is assured.
