Asante Twi interpreting and certified translation for IRB, IRCC and medical matters in Calgary and across Canada, with Ghanaian civil records usually already in English.
Ashante to English Translation Services in Calgary
We provide certified translation into English of the Ghanaian records an Asante Twi family holds, most of which are issued in English, with a sworn affidavit where an original was registered late or is unclear.
Ashante, more precisely Asante Twi, is a dialect of Akan spoken in the Ashanti Region of Ghana, written in the Latin alphabet with extra vowel letters and tone. Because Ghana issues civil records in English, a Ghanaian birth, marriage or death certificate usually arrives already in English, so document translation runs the other way and the Asante Twi part of a file is most often the interpreting.
Where an English record is handwritten, damaged or shows an estimated date from a late rural registration, a sworn affidavit before a commissioner of oaths can set out how a name or date was established. Names may be spelled several ways across documents, and we keep them consistent with the passport. Output is issued by a certified translator or supported by affidavit, and acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution such as IRCC, the IRB or a provincial registry.
Every certified Ashante translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet IRCC requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in Calgary gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in Canada.

Ashante Translation Services in Calgary
Certified translation for an Asante Twi speaker in Calgary usually means rendering an already English Ghanaian record, since Ghana issues civil documents in English; we add a sworn affidavit where a rural birth was registered late and keep names consistent with the passport.
Calgary is Alberta's largest city and the headquarters of Canada's oil and gas industry, with growing strength in logistics, financial services and technology. Among languages other than English and French, Punjabi and Tagalog are the most widely reported mother tongues, followed by Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic and Urdu, reflecting steady immigration from South Asia, the Philippines, China and the Middle East.
This diversity creates ongoing demand for translation and interpreting. The Court of King's Bench of Alberta and the Alberta Court of Justice both sit in Calgary, and hospitals such as the Foothills Medical Centre under Alberta Health Services serve patients in many languages. The University of Calgary, settlement agencies supporting IRCC newcomers, and employers across the energy, health and business sectors regularly need documents and conversations bridged accurately between languages.
Ashante Interpreters in Calgary
Our Asante Twi interpreters cover IRB hearings, IRCC interviews, legal aid and medical appointments in Calgary, matched to the Asante dialect of Akan rather than assumed to follow Akuapem Twi or Fante.
Asante Twi, Akuapem Twi and Fante are Akan varieties and largely understood among speakers, but an Asante speaker is most precise in their own dialect. Tell us the home region so we match an Asante Twi interpreter rather than a general Akan speaker.
We arrange interpreters for IRB refugee protection hearings, IRCC interviews, legal aid, and hospital and clinic appointments, on site in Calgary or by phone and video across Canada.
For an in-person assignment in Calgary we assign an Ashante interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, lawyers, hospitals, IRCC applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.
About the Ashante Language
Ashante (Asante, Ashanti) is the major dialect of Twi within the Akan language group - the language of the historic Ashanti Kingdom and today the language of Kumasi, Ghana's second-largest city. Around 3 million people speak Ashanti Twi. In Canada, Ashante translation work overlaps heavily with broader Ghanaian and Akan translation - civil documents and church records for IRCC family sponsorship, alongside academic transcripts being evaluated for Canadian credentialing bodies. The Ashanti community in Canada sits within the wider Ghanaian population centred in Toronto, with further presence in Montreal and Ottawa.

Ashante Translation in Calgary: FAQs
My Ghanaian certificate is already in English. Do I need a translation?
Often not for the certificate itself, since Ghana issues records in English. The Asante Twi part of your file is usually the interpreting, and a sworn affidavit can support an unclear record. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
Is Asante Twi the same as Akan?
Asante Twi is a dialect of Akan, alongside Akuapem Twi and Fante. Tell us the speaker's region and we match an Asante Twi interpreter rather than a general Akan one.
Can you interpret for a refugee hearing?
Yes, we arrange Asante Twi interpreters for IRB hearings and IRCC interviews, on site in Calgary or by video across Canada.
Do you have an office in Calgary?
Ashante translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Calgary we assign an Ashante interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in Canada.
