Reporting grant expenditure to an overseas funder in Canada — what translation and certification is expected?

The point raised here is “Reporting grant expenditure to an overseas funder in Canada”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. The terms that frame this page are Reporting · grant · expenditure · overseas. The specifics here are purpose: Grantreport; destination: Ca, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. Before starting, verify the source document is still within any validity window the recipient applies, then count the number of certified sets needed before work starts, because extra sets restart the certification steps, then confirm with the receiving body whether it wants an original, a certified copy or a certified translation. The point to fix before starting is the real deadline, so the steps can be scheduled backwards from it. Check first whether the issuing office of the source document is one the destination recognises. Keep a copy of every source document plus the receipt or docket from each step. High-resolution photos of seals and signatures help when the destination asks for re-verification. With a fixed filing date, count backwards from it and book each certification step in reverse. Documents with a short validity window should be produced as close to the filing date as possible. When by-laws are amended, attach both the original and the amended text to show continuity. Include the auditor's page with foundation accounts, since funders review it first. Overseas funders commonly require proof of legal status issued within a recent window. Audited foundation accounts must be translated together with all notes to the financial statements. After certification, scan the full set before it leaves your hands. A Thai document for use abroad is translated in full, including stamps and signatures, then submitted for certification to the Legalisation Division of the Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards to the destination country's embassy or consulate where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so no apostille is issued for Thai documents. A document issued overseas — a charity status certificate, a grant agreement or a donor's power of attorney — is used in Thailand only after certification in the country of origin under that country's system, then by the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate there. It is then translated into Thai and the translation is certified by the Department of Consular Affairs before it is filed with a Thai body or a Thai bank. ILC handles documents only: translation, certified translation, coordinating a notarial services attorney and running certification at the Department of Consular Affairs and embassies. It is not a tax adviser, an auditor or a fundraising agent, it does not warrant that any organisation will be announced as a public charitable organisation, and it guarantees no decision by the Revenue Department, the foundation and association registrar, AMLO, a bank, a grant-maker or any foreign authority. Cost and lead time depend on page count, how many certified sets are needed, the target language and the steps the receiving party requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
