Why is certified translation needed?

When you are sponsored to Canada by your partner you have to prove your relationship with him/her at that time WhatsApp or any social media chat can help you. The chats will only be valid if they are in the English or French language. 

Embassy of Canada doesn't recognize any other language than these two. Make sure to get your WhatsApp chat translated either in English or the French language in order to be valid for spouse visa.

Who can translate?

We have already informed you about the requirement, they need certified and notarized translation only. It means duly signed, certified and attested with the seals and stamps by the certified translator or a translation agency.

We at Ideal Lingua Translations, are eligible to certify your chats. We have a team of native and professional certified translators, who understand your requirement and deliver you accordingly. Our translation is valid for the purpose of spouse visa, immigration, PR purposes etc.

How to compile chats?

Take 40-50 screenshots and it should be enough. We at Ideal Lingua Translations consider 4 screenshots per page, if you have 40 screenshots then simply choose 10 pages while placing an order.

Make sure to include screenshots of continuous chats. Taking 2-3 screenshots of every month's chat history is enough. You can freely skip some particular month or year if you have been talking for so long.

Do include screenshot of the complete screen including name, date, and time.

 What kind of chats you should include?

The immigration/ embassy officers don't need your bundles of chats or any personal information. They just have to check if you really are partners/husband-wife/ fiancé-fiancée talking to each other constantly. Please do include the chats where you both are talking about each others' families.
