The titles of “certified translator”, “certified terminologist”, “certified interpreter”, “certified conference interpreter” and “certified court interpreter” are granted by the provincial regulatory bodies for these professions. CTTIC is responsible for the application of uniform standards for professional certification across Canada. CTTIC also administers the various exams that confer the right to use these titles.
Three certification mechanisms are used in Canada: certification on dossier, certification by mentorship and the certification exam. Currently, only Québec and New Brunswick offer certification by mentorship. In Québec, provincial legislation on professional orders does not permit certification by exam. The title of certified translator, interpreter or terminologist is granted by the provincial association (or professional order) to which the candidate has applied for certification.
Please note that in order to be eligible for certification, you must first apply for and be accepted as a member with one of our member organizations. Please go to Member Associations for a listing of their websites where you will find detailed information regarding their membership requirements.
