What this means for translators
Canada does not currently have a route in our index that maps one-to-one to translators, so the general routes below are the place to start. Translators are not usually a licensed profession, so your main gates are securing a qualifying job offer where a route needs a sponsor, and meeting any salary or points threshold, rather than re-credentialing.
The most-used skilled route into Canada overall is the Express Entry — Federal Skilled Worker (FSW); it is not specific to translators but is worth understanding as the benchmark route.
