What lands on the Canadian desk
Your Italian paper stays whole. We do not cut it, stamp it or send it away. We build a fresh English text next to it, line by line. With that text comes a signed note of accuracy. The note names the translator and swears the words match. That pair is the certified translation for Canada that a clerk wants to hold.
Most files are short. A birth record runs one or two sheets. A degree may run three. We count the sheets first, then quote. Nothing else in the file changes. The old seal, the old ink and the old date all stay put. You keep the source and we keep no claim on it.
The tongue a Canadian office reads
Canada wants English. That is the plain rule here, and it does not bend for a fine Italian original. So we make a certified translation into English in Genoa, and the file leaves in that tongue. If the office you deal with wants a second one as well, ask them in writing first. We can then do both in one run.
Who signs, and what the signature buys
You do not need a sworn English translator in Genoa for this route. No court oath is taken, and no judge sees the file. A trained translator signs it instead. The signed note of accuracy carries the weight. It gives a name, a date and a plain claim: this text says what the Italian paper says.
Cost per sheet and time on the clock
The rate is ~€30 / page. We count a page as a sheet of the source file, so a two-sheet record costs twice what one sheet costs. Work takes 2–3 business days as a rule. If your date is tight, we can push it to 24 hours. Ask for that when you send the file, not after.
When the file lands in Canada
A Canadian clerk checks three things. Is the text in English? Is there a note with a name on it? Does the page count match the source? Get those right and the file moves. We hand you a certified translation in Genoa for Canada that meets all three, so nothing bounces back.
Keep both halves together. Staple the English text to a clean copy of the source, not to the source itself. Most desks in Canada like to see the two side by side. If they take scans, send the whole set as one file. An official English translation in Genoa loses its worth once it is split up.
