Thank you!Mar 18, 2011

I have found out many specific things about Canadian Family law (in comparison to that of France and Russia) and some ideas for the start in Legal Translation. Looking forward to following the next sessions.
Would however be great to have some examples of documents for translation, at least of French/English parallel texts for some of the most popular documents (f.e. used in immigrant organizations, etc)

Documents for Translation During Immigration ProcessMar 22, 2011

Dear Al-ra,

Thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate that there were other topics that could have been covered during the seminar, and would have liked to do more. However, our 60 minute limit makes it impossible to cover everything. However, I have written an article on the matter of immigration document translation, which can be found at: http://www.proz.com/doc/2225.

I hope this helps.
