Immunization Translations - Edmonton

[matchs 0]

Hi all,

In anticipation of an approval and preparation of our interview packet, I need to get my fiancee's immunization records from Dubai translated into English. She's in Edmonton, so I'm hoping for something close. I do have a couple questions.

Is it generally recommended that I get a certified translation from a company? I don't know if it's a requirement for Woking Medical, but would hate for an RFE for that minor thing. I know that any translator could write a certification note, but would using a company bolster the accuracy?

If I'm using a company, do you have a recommendation as to whom? Are we allowed to list some on the boards? I found Cilfo Translations - who work via email - that will do the translation for $150 (their flat fee), but wondered if anyone has had a good experience otherwise? This would obviously be from Arabic to English.

Thanks for your input.

Save yourself $150 and have your fiancee go to her doctor and get titre tests done for the required vaccinations. They will draw a few vials of blood and test the immunity levels to see if she has had that vaccine. She will have to ask her dr for a copy of the results to take to her medical.

Getting the titre tests done is free (at least it was in Ontario). And with the titre tests you are 100% certain that the proper vaccinations were recieved.

Maybe I'm slow - shhhh - but I just need some clarification:

Let's say she doesn't have her vaccination records from childhood. According to the Woking site, for her age group she needs:

27-49 YEARS

Tdap (Adacel or Boosterix) - ensure you get Tdap not just Td

MMR Measles, Mumps, Rubella. ("MR" and "MM" are not enough). You need MMR

Varicella - If you had "Chicken Pox" disease, no vaccine is needed

Influenza (only required during October - February, annually)

Does this mean that if we don't have her childhood immunizations, and she has those listed above (or a blood test showing them), we won't need anything more for the K1 process? Or, do we eventually need to prove the rest of the childhood immunizations?
