Translation Requirements
No Translations Needed: Official documents from Chad are typically in French, which means they are accepted as is by IRCC. You only need translations for documents in local dialects or Arabic (if not bilingual).
If any document is not in English or French, include:

- a certified translation
Make sure names, dates, and document details match exactly between the original and the translation.
