Why the index does not list prices

The index points to the factors; it does not publish a figure.

The quote separates translation from layout: rebuilding the title block on the primary document is priced as its own task, and converting DOCX to a working file is noted before the work starts.

Two entries can look similar and still produce different quotes, because the page count, the language direction and the layout work differ.

No prices
The index does not publish amounts.
02
Scope

03

Review
A figure follows a document assessment.

No amount is published on this index page.

What the guide index does not decide

A list of links is not an answer.

01
Cost
A figure follows a document review.
02
Choice
The reader's document decides the entry.
03
Acceptance
Decided by the receiving office.
04
Missing
An absent page is not a refusal of the work.

The identification page is described here only as far as the document number and the photograph serve the set; anything it says about entitlement or status is left to the office that issued it.

The index also does not replace professional advice. Where a filing has legal consequences, the reader should speak to a qualified adviser.

The index is corrected when a page is added, replaced or retired. The index covers translation guides and links to the pages that take up each part of it.

The route through the guide index

A short path from list to scope.

The first pass marks the title block and the reference number on the primary document; the second reader returns to those marks and to the line items on the supporting schedule rather than rereading the whole set.

The linked page explains the scope and the checks. If the question is still open, the contact route is the next step, with the file and the target language named.

What a linked page adds

Each entry points to a page with a narrower question.

01
Linked page
Scope, checks and limits in detail.
02
Entry
A document, language or service question.
03
Grouping
By the question, not the word count.
04
Limits
The page states what it does not decide.

The primary document carries the issuing office and the date of issue on the same sheet, and both travel with the translation; the supporting schedule is attached where its the line items is cited, not at the end as an afterthought.

An entry names a document family, a language direction or a service question, and the linked page explains how that work is scoped and checked.

Nothing in the index adds a claim about translation guides beyond what the linked page states.

The hand-off behind the guide index

The path after the click.

Delivery follows the order the receiving office reads in: document pages and terminology are handed over with the pages they belong to, and signature blocks and page order are listed in the control note rather than left in a folder without a caption. The hand-off turns on the order in which the reader meets terminology, and on the rule that no item is closed until an item that reaches the folder without a caption naming terminology has been ruled out. A reader who reopens the delivery should find document pages and signature blocks exactly where the note says they are. The hand-over is complete only when the office's own condition is met: the office accepts the folder only when the note names terminology.

The linked page explains how a file is reviewed and how a scope is written. The delivery itself follows the agreed scope, not the index entry.

Encrypted files with a control note.

A link in the translation guides index is checked whenever the page behind it is renamed.

What is not listed in the guide index

What the list leaves out.

Because the set is filed as PDF and DOCX, the scope records which file will be rebuilt and which stays as a readable rendering; the date of issue on the primary document is the first item that changes the decision.

A subject that has no page yet is not invented to fill the list. The gap is left visible, and a reader can ask about it by email.

How the guide index is kept current

The linked page governs its own text.
02

04
Record
The index reflects the live pages.

The check on the identification page covers the document number and the photograph; a missing line is reported, not reconstructed from context, because a reviewer will compare it with the source.

Descriptions are kept short so they do not drift from the page they describe. The linked page remains the authority for its own scope.

When a page on translation guides is retired, its entry leaves the index at the same time.

Published rule

Which official texts the guides are built around

This section names the authority, the rule and the point where its effect stops.

Global Affairs Canada states that the Apostille Convention took effect in Canada on 11 January 2024, and that an apostille now replaces consular legalization for Canadian public documents used in the more than 120 participating countries.

Ontario's guidance for notaries public records that a notary also holds all the powers of a commissioner for taking affidavits, may witness or certify the execution of a document, and may certify a true copy.

Each guide works from a published text; where the text changes, the guide is corrected rather than defended.

The wording is quoted from the published page; where an office changes its instruction, the office's current text governs.

FAQ

Questions about the guide index

Answers to what is asked most often at the intake stage for a primary document.

Why is there no price in the guide index?

The index is a route, not a price list. Pricing pages set out what changes the quote.

How often is the guide index checked?

When a page is added, replaced or retired. A broken link is corrected on the index itself.

How do I choose the right entry in the guide index?

Pick the entry that matches the question you already have; the linked page carries the scope and the checks.

Does the guide index list every page on the site?

It lists the pages in this section at the time of the last review. A page added later appears after the index is updated.

Are the entries ranked?

No. The index does not recommend one page over another; the reader's document decides the entry.
