CIRL is committed to promoting excellence within the translator profession. It is also dedicated to facilitating the integration of new Canadians. In support of both of these goals, CIRL has established two professional development scholarships of $500 which will be awarded in 2005 to assist two document translators to become Canadian-certified in languages for which there is a short supply of certified translators in Canada.

Detailed application and award procedures are under development. If you are a document translator interested in becoming Canadian-certified, please check back to this website to obtain updates on how you might apply for these professional development awards.
