1What it is
Translation is regulated provincially in Canada, so certification is granted by the provincial societies that make up the council, not by the council itself; holders carry the title Certified Translator, which is protected in some provinces. The council administers the common certification exam for its societies.
2Who it suits
Translators living in Canada or wishing to work with Canadian public bodies.
3What it requires
Membership of the provincial society in the candidate's province; each society sets its own qualification and experience requirements.
4How it is earned
Join the provincial society, then pass the certification exam the council administers, or another route the society recognises. Ask the society which languages are offered, Arabic included.
